Brahmaputra river Basin
Dear Student
The Brahmaputra rises in Tibet east of Mansarowar lake very close to the sources of the Indus and the Satluj. It flows eastwards parallel to the Himalayas. On reaching the Namcha Barwa it takes a U turn and enters India in Arunachal Pradesh through a gorge.
Here, it is called the Dihang and it is joined by the Dibang, Lohit, and many other tributaries to form the Brahmaputra in Assam. In Tibet the river carries a smaller volume of water and less silt as it is a cold and a dry area. The length of Brahamputra river is 2900 kms.
