How is the Himalayan River system different from the Peninsular River system?
उत्तर
| 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. |
