Initially NMCG was registered as a society on 12th August 2011 under the Societies Registration Act 1860. It acted as implementation arm of National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA) which was constituted under the provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act (EPA) 1986. NGRBA has since been dissolved with effect from the 7th October 2016, consequent to constitution of National Council for Restoration, Protection and Management of River Ganga (referred to as National Ganga Council). Preface www.nmcg.in Centre for Ganga River Basin Management and Studies (cGanga) NATIONAL RIVER Ganga has been at the center of river system were brought into focus for restorative cGanga is a think tank formed under the aegis of NMCG, and one of its stated objectives is to make India a world leader in river and water the government’s multi-decadal efforts to restore action because they could be restored and science.

Perennial and Non-Perennial River- River Originating from Mountains, They Get Water Throughout the Year, That River Consider As Perennial River
Perennial and Non-Perennial river- River originating from mountains, they get water throughout the year, that river consider as Perennial river. on the other hand river originating from plateau region called Non-Perennial river. these river do not have enough water for the whole year. Peninsular river- They have a large seasonal fluctuation in volume as they are solely fed from rainfall. These river flow in valley with steep gradients. the river which end in the Bay of Bengal are called 'East flowing' river, If the river empties into the Arabian sea, it is called ' West flowing' river. Inland drainage river- The river which does not empty itself into any sea, and end with any lake or any other water body is known as Inland Drainage river. Classification Indus River Originated from Bokharchu Glacier , near Mansarover. Rivers in India Total length of about 2897 km, it fall into the Arabian sea. Enter in India through Ladakh, flow only in J&K. Ganga River It flow between the Ladakh range and the Zaskar range at Leh. Brahmaputra River Originates as the Bhagirathi from the Gangotri glacier. Originates from Mansaravar Lake. Alaknanda unites with Bhagirathi at Devprayag, Uttarakhand, henceafter know as Ganga. Total length of about 3848 km. It fall into Bay of Bengal. At Bangladesh, Ganga merge with Brahmaputra, mixture known as Padma river. Enter India in Arunachal Pradesh. most of its course lies outside India. Total length of about 2510 km, It fall into the Bay of Bengal. It flow parallel to the Himalayas in the eastward direction. Originate from the Yamunotri glacier, at the Bandarpoonch peak in Uttarakhand. -

Rajasthan during the Late Quaternary period. Geo- morphic description of the extinct river system matches The Luni River, which flows through the south-eastern part of the Thar Desert region once drained into this well with the Saraswati River described so vividly in 22 the Rig Veda. The Vedic river which presumably Himalayan system . A number of palaeo-channels have 3,4,14,15,23,24 flowed parallel to the Aravalli Mountains during its been identified in the Luni Basin . Based on the initial stages, migrated westward during neotectonic interpretation of Synthetic Aperture Radar Imageries, uplift of the Aravalli Mountains. The neotectonic Kar15 mapped several south-west to south south-west movements, which brought about the down-sagging of flowing palaeo-valleys in the alluvial plains between the northern part of Aravalli Mountains also forced Jodhpur and Pali. He identified these as belonging to the Yamuna River to swap its original course to flow those of the Luni River. The discovery of palaeo-valleys across the flattened ‘mountain’. The river presumably indicates a number of easterly courses of the erstwhile pirated the Saraswati waters while it drifted eastward Luni River. -

FRECHEN1 1Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics (LIAG), Section S3: Geochronology and Isotope Hydrology, Stilleweg 2, 30655 Hannover, Germany 2Department of Earth Sciences, School of Physical Chemical and Applied Sciences, Pondicherry University, Puducherry - 605 014, India 3Institute for Ocean Management, Anna University, Chennai 600 025, India Received 25 February 2010 Accepted 11 June 2010 Abstract: We present the results of luminescence dating of sediments from two cores from the Cau- very Delta in south-east India. Since all natural quartz OSL signals except one sample were in satura- tion, the elevated temperature post-IR IRSL protocol for K-feldspar was applied to establish a chro- nology. Internal dose rates of K-feldspar grains were calculated from the measured internal content of potassium, uranium, thorium and rubidium in the bulk of K-feldspar grains using solution ICP-OES and ICP-MS analysis. A substantial scatter in single-aliquot De values was observed which is most probably due to the effect of incomplete bleaching of fluvial sediments before burial. A minimum age model was applied to extract possible depositional ages. The study revealed that except an upper layer of Holocene sediments (< 5m), the majority of the upper ~50m of Cauvery delta sediments were de- posited between marine isotope stage MIS-5 and MIS-10 or older.
