The Ganges River originates in the Himalaya Mountains at Gomukh, the terminus of the Gongotri Glacier. When the ice of this glacier melts, it forms the clear waters of the Bhagirathi River. As the Bhagirathi River flows down the Himalayas, it joins the Alaknanda River, officially forming the Ganges River.

The Ganges (Ganga) River runs through northern India and is sacred to those who follow Hinduism. More than four hundred million people in India live in the area that feeds the river, known as the Ganges River Basin.

the melting water from the Himalayas, as well as water from tributaries and rainfall, all feed the sacred river. The Ganges flows south and east from the Himalayas, forming a canyon as it leaves the mountain. It winds its way through northern India

Brahmaputa refers to “the son of Brahma”. The river flows in India along with its neighboring countries like Bangladesh and China.
The total length of Brahmaputra River is around 2390 miles (3848 km). Fresh alluvial deposits and extensive flood plains have been associated in the river. During monsoons, flood seems to be wide in the geographical landscape of Brahmaputra River. Due to excessive deforestation, the watershed has caused huge rate of soil erosion in the downstream.
The origin of Brahmaputra River is the Chemayungdung mountain ranges which are around 60 miles southeast of Mansarovar Lake in Mt. Kailash which falls in Southern Tibet at the altitude of 5300m. Tomchok Khambab is a spring from the glaciers which gather volume and breath to be the Tsangpo, world’s highest river. Out of its total 2880km of length, Brahmaputra River traverses mostly as Tsangpo in Tibet. It flows 1625 km in Tibet along with the main Himalayan ranges before making entry to Arunachal Pradesh in India.

The Indus  is a transboundary river of Asia and a trans-Himalayan river of South and Central Asia. The 3,180 km (1,980 mi) river rises in Western Tibet, flows northwest through the Ladakh and Gilgit-Baltistan regions of Kashmir, bends sharply to the left after the Nanga Parbat massif, and flows south-by-southwest through Pakistan, before it empties into the Arabian Sea near the port city of Karachi.

The river has a total drainage area exceeding 1,165,000 km² (450,000 sq mi). Its estimated annual flow is around 243 km³ (58 cu mi), making it one of the 50 largest rivers in the world in terms of annual average flow.

Indus tributaries are Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej. From its source in the northwestern foothills of the Himalayas, it flows through the Indian state of Jammu & Kashmir and along the length of Pakistan to the Arabian Sea. The river and its five tributaries together make up the Indus Basin, which spans four countries and supports 215m people

The river Indus, one of the longest rivers in Asia is polluted as a result of litter, untreated agricultural, industrial and municipal waste .... Scientists calculated that halving plastic pollution in these waterways could potentially reduce the total contribution from rivers by 45 per cent.
Ways to prevent river pollution are:-
Don't throw paints, oils or other forms of litter down the drain. Use environmentally household products, such as washing powder, household cleaning agents and toiletries. Take great care not to overuse pesticides and fertilisers. This will prevent runoffs of the material into nearby water sources.

The Ganges River originates in the Himalaya Mountains at Gomukh, the terminus of the Gongotri Glacier. When the ice of this glacier melts, it forms the clear waters of the Bhagirathi River. As the Bhagirathi River flows down the Himalayas, it joins the Alaknanda River, officially forming the Ganges River. The Ganges River Basin is sometimes considered part of a larger river basin consisting of the nearby Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers. Known as the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) River Basin, it is one of the largest river systems in the world.
The important tributaries are the Yamuna, the Ramaganga, the Gomti, the Ghagra, the Son, the Gandak, the Burhi Gandak, the Kosi and the Mahananda.
Ganga basin is the largest river basin in India in terms of catchment area, constituting 26% of the country's land mass  The basin lies over India, Nepal and Bangladesh. About 79% area of Ganga basin is in India. The basin covers 11 states viz., Uttarakhand, U.P., M.P., Rajasthan, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal and Delhi.
The current focus of world bank funded National Ganga River Basin Projects (NGRBP) of NMCG is on five major states on the main stem of river Ganga namely Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bihar and West Bengal.
