Describe the important features of brahmputa river sytem

The Brahmaputra River System
 
1.  The Brahmaputra originates in 
Tibet, very close to the origin of the Indus and the Satluj.
2.  It flows from West to East parallel to the Himalayas and enters 
India through Arunachal Pradesh 
3.  It is called Dihang in Arunachal Pradesh and is joined by tributaries such as the Lohit and the Dibang. They together form the Brahmaputra in 
Assam.
4. The 
Brahmaputra creates many riverine islands, the largest in the world being Majuli
(in 
Assam).
5.  The Brahmaputra is a flood-prone river owing to huge deposits of silt on its bed that cause the overflowing of the river during monsoons.
