[a] It is the largest river in the world by disecute, and the 15th longest. With its origin in the Lake Manasarovar region, Near the Kailash Mountain, Located on the north side of Italayas in Burang County of Tibet as the Yarlung Tsangpo river, [1] it flows to the south of Small collapsed via the Himalayas to major targets (including the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon) and the Arunachal Pradesh (India). [4] It flows westside of the Assam Value as Brahmaputra and to the south across Bangladeshi as Jamuna (not to be mistaken with Yamuna in India). In the vast Delta Ganges, he merged with the Padma, the popular name of the River Ganges of the River in Bangladeshi, and finally, after being merged with Padma, he gets Meghna and out here, it flows like the Meghna River before empty in the Bengal. [5] Approximately 4,696 kim (2,918 mi)[1] long, the Brahmaputra is an important river for irrigation and transport in the region. The average depth of the river is 140 m (450 ft) and maximum depth is 370 m (1.200 ft). The river tends to flood catastrophic in the spring when the snow melted the Himalayan snow. The average discharge of the river is about 19,800 m3/s (700,000 cu ft/s), [4] and floods reach about 100,000 m3/s (3,500,000 cut ft/s). [6] It is a classic example of a stream and is highly sensitive to channel migration and avulsion. [7] He is also one of the rivers in the world expose a tire. It is navigable for most of its length. The river crossed eastern Himalayan through the Indo-Nepal border, the south-central portion of the Tibetan plateau above bowl in Ganga, the southern part of the east of Tibet, the cholin Patkai-Bum, the northern slope of the Meghalaya mountains, the plain Assam, and the northern portion of the Banglades. The bowl, especially in southern Tibet, is characterised by high levels of rain. Kangchenjunga (8.586 m) is the only shovels above 8,000 m, hence is the highest point of the Brahmaputra belt. Brahmaputra's upper neck was long unknown, and its identity with the Tsangpo Yarlung was only established by exploration in 1884–86. This river is often called the Tsangpo-Brahmaputra river. [summons needed] Lower reach is sarcast for Hindu. While most streams on the Indian substance have female names, this river has a rare male name. Brahmaputra means Brahma's child in Sanskrit. [8] Geography Course Tibet Main Article: Yarlung Tsangpo Yarlung River Tsangpong in tibet above reaches the river brahmaputra, known as the Yarlung Tsangpo from the Tibetan language, origins on the Glascier to Angsi, near Mount Kailash, is located on the north side of the Italayas of Burang County of Tibet. The source of the River Was earlier thought to be on the Chemayung Glacier, which covers the slope of the Italayas about 97 kilometers (60 mi) of southeast Lake Manasarovar in southern Tibet. The river is 3.969 kim (2.466 mi) long, and its drainage area is 712.035 km2 (274.918 sq) according to the new results, while previous documents showed its length varies from 2,916 kim (1,812 mi) to 3,364 kim (2,090 mi)and its drainage area between 520,000 and 1.73 million km2. This finding was provided by Liu Shaochuang, a researcher with the Institute of Remote Applications under the analysis using expedition and satellite imagery from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). [1] [9] From its sources, the river runs for almost 1,100 kilometers (680 walls) in a generally conveniently direction between the main range of Healayas in the south and Range of Kailas to the north. In Tibet, the Tsangpo receives a number of tributaries. The most important kite-bank courts are the Raka Zangbo (Raka Tsangpo), which join the western river Xigazê (Shigatse), and the Lhasa (Kyi), which flows past the Tibetan capital of Lhasa and joining the Tsangpog in Qüxüxü. The Nyang River enters the Tsangpo from the north of Zela (Tsela Dg). On the right bank, a second river called Nyang Qu (Nyang Chu) meets Tsangpo's in Xigazê. After passing Pi (Pe) into Tibet, the river turns suddenly to the north and northeast and cuts a course of a succession of narrow chargeous charges between the mountainous masses of Gyala Peri and Namcha Barking in a quick and cascading range. And the river turned around and sidwestern and leaking across a deep throat (the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon) via the eastern extremists of the Italayas and canyon walls extended above to 5,000 m (16,000 ft) and more on each side. During this stretch, the river enters the northern state of Arunachal Pradesh in northeast India, where it is known as the Dihang (or Siang) River, and turns more please. Assam and premiers of Brahmaputra region bowl in India A view at sundown of the Brahmaputra from the Dibrugarh Yarlung Tsangpo to enter the state of Arunachal Pradesh in India, where it is called Siang. It makes a very quick descent from its original height in Tibet and finally appears in the plain, where it is called Dihang. It flows for about 35 kim (22 mi) south after that, it is joined by the Dibang River and the Lohit River at the top of the Assam Valley. Below the Lohit, the river is called Brahmaputra and Doima (Mothers of Water) and Burlung-Buthur by native Bodo tribal, it then enters the state of Assam, and becomes wide as 20 km (12 mi) in parts of Asam. The dihang, winds from the mountains, turn towards the southeast and down to a low basin as it enters the state of Ascent northeast. Just west of the city of Sadiya, the river is again back in the southwestern and is joined by two mountain water sources, the Lohit, and the Dibang Turtles. Under this conflict, about 1,450 km (900 walls) from the Bay of Bengal, the river becomes conventionally known as the Brahmaputra (Son of Brahma). In Assam, the river is mighty, even in the dry season, and during the rains, its banks have more than 8 kim (5.0 mi) apart. As the river follows it 700 kilometers (430 mi) of the value, it receives several rapidly flowing Italayan fighting, including the Subansiri, Kameng, Bhareli, Dhansiri, Manas, Champamati, Saralbhanga, and Sankosh Rivers. The main courts from the hills and in the plateau to the south are the Burhi Dihing, the Disang, the Dikhu, and the Copying. Between Dibrugarh and Lakhimpur Districts, the river is divided into two channels—north of the channel Kherkutia and channels south of Bramamaputra. The two channels join again about 100 kim (62 mi) fishermen, forming the Majuli Islands, which is the largest river island in the world. [10] In Guwahati, near the ancient pelgrimage center of Hajo, the Brahmaputra is cut off from the rocks of the Shillong Plateau, and is at its narrow within 1 kilometer (1,100 yd) bank-to-bank. The landslide in that area made it logistically ideal for the battle of Saraighat, the military showdown between the Empir Mughal and the Kingdom of Ahom in March 1671. The first combined railroad bridge/road via the Brahmaputra was constructed in Saraighat. It opened to traffic in April 1962. The environment of the flooding Brahmaputra in Assam has been described as the Valley of Brahmaputra forest ecoregion. The Bangladeshi River Bangladeshi, including the Brahmaputra in Bangladeshi, is the Brahmaputra together by the Teesta River (or Tista), one of its largest courts. Below the Tista, split the Brahmaputra into two branch dispensers. The western branch, which has the majority of the river flow, continues due to south as the Jamuna (Jomuna) to merge with lower Ganga, called the Padma River (Pôdda). The eastern branch, the former largest, but now smaller, is called the Lower or Old Brahmaputra (Brommoputro). It curve centuries to join the river Meghna near Dhaka. Padma and Meghna converge near Chandpur and flow from the Bay of Bengal. This final part of the river is called Meghna. Brahmaputra's side enter the plains of Bangladeshi after turning southward around the Garo Mountains under the Dhuburi, India. After sink past Chilmari, Bangladeshi, it is joined on its right bank by the Tista River and then follow a 240 kilometer (150-mi) course due south as the Jamuna River.
