Difference between hinalyan river and peninsular …

The Himalayan Rivers *The Himalayan Rivers rise in the snow covered mountains and they flow throughout the year. *The himalayan rivers flow in levelled Northern Plains. Therefore, they are quite useful for navigation and irrigation. *The Himalayan rivers bring with them fertile alluvium which they deposit in the Indo-Gangetic plains. *Canals have been dug to use the water of these rivers or irrigation. The Peninsular Rivers *The mountains in which the Peninsular rivers are not snow covered. Hence, they dry up in summer. *The Peninsular Rivers flow on uneven rocky surface.Therefore, they are neither navigable nor useful for irrigation. *The Peninsular rivers do not bring with them enough alluvium. As the current is swift, so the deposition activity is negligible. *As the terrain is rocky and the banks of these rivers are high, canals cannot be dug. However, dams are built to store the flood water for irrigation with the help of small channels.
