Question
Why do rivers in Himalayas contain water through-out the year?
✓
Answer
(1) Most of the Himalayan rivers originate from snow-covered regions of Himalayas. These regions get very heavy rain during monsoon. So floods occur in these rivers.
(2) During summer, these rivers get much water due to the melting of the snow over the Himalayan peaks. So these rivers are perennial.
