Question

How is the Himalayan River system different from the Peninsular River system?

Answer 1

	Himalayan River System	Peninsular River System
1	The basins and catchment areas of the Himalayan rivers are huge.	The basins and catchment regions of peninsular rivers are relatively smaller.
2	Snowfall feeds these rivers, which flow continuously throughout the year. They are, hence, everlasting.	Rain is the main source of water for these rivers, and the monsoon season has a big impact on how much water flows through them. They are seasonal as a result.
3	These rivers create deep gorges.	The rivers run in low-lying valleys.
4	These rivers are used for both navigation and irrigation.	These are not the best rivers for transportation or irrigation.
