Rivers of India – Introduction

India has two major river systems: Himalayan rivers and Peninsular rivers. Himalayan rivers like Ganga, Yamuna, Brahmaputra are perennial (flow throughout the year), while Peninsular rivers like Godavari, Krishna, Narmada, and Kaveri depend mainly on rainfall. Rivers are important for irrigation, hydroelectricity, transport, and cultural life.
