Inland Fisheries

3.2.1 Introduction

          The main Himalayan river system includes Ganga, Brahmaputra and the Indus river systems. The Himalayan rivers form large basins. Many rivers pass through the Himalayas. In plains, they form large meanders, and a variety of depositional features like floodplains, river cliffs and levees. These rivers are perennial as they get water from the rainfall as well as the melting of ice.
