Drainage Systems in India

In this Class 9 Geography topic from the chapter Drainage, students learn how water flows across India through river systems, drainage basins, and networks. They explore the Himalayan and Peninsular river systems, compare their origins, courses, seasonal flow, and landforms, and understand patterns such as dendritic, trellis, and radial drainage. The topic also introduces the importance of rivers and lakes, along with concerns related to floods, pollution, and water management.

View options
  1. Rocks of uniform resistance allow a branching network
  2. Hard and soft bands must be parallel
  3. All streams radiate from the centre
  4. Every bend must be at right angle
View options
  1. Because streams follow bands of hard and soft rocks
  2. Because all streams meet in a circular lake

View options
  1. They indicate rock joints and fractures
  2. They indicate delta deposition
  3. They prove a glacial source
  4. They show inland drainage
View options
  1. Due to steep and uniform slope
  2. Due to low rainfall and closed basin
  3. Due to right-angled fractures
  4. Due to heavy deposition in delta
View options
  1. Because it separates two drainage areas
  2. Because it is the final river mouth

View options
  1. It is the confluence of the Ganga and Yamuna
  2. It is where the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda meet to form the Ganga
  3. It is the rift valley of the Narmada River
  4. It is where the Luni River ends in inland lakes
View options
  1. They can bring water and sediment from Himalayas and increase floods in plains
  2. They bring saline water from sea
  3. They dry completely every year
  4. They branch away from Ganga into Arabian Sea
View options
  1. Deposition of heavy sediment brought from the Himalayas raises and shallows the river bed, causing the river to change its course
  2. Sea tides cause river water to reach the Himalayas
  3. Complete absence of sediment transport by the river
  4. Flow of the river through hard igneous rocks of the Peninsular Plateau
View options
  1. Combined effect of high discharge high sediment and low plain slope
  2. Effect of desert sand only
  3. Deposition of volcanic lava
  4. Complete drying of the river
View options
  1. Because the same river can have different names in different regions
  2. Because every name proves a different river
  3. Because it does not enter India
  4. Because it is only a Peninsular river
View options
  1. Division of main channel due to reduced slope and sediment deposition near the mouth
  2. Vertical erosion in upper mountains
