Question

Which type of rivers can derive water from all seasons?

(a) Tidal Rivers

(b) Non-Himalayan Rivers

(c) Himalayan Rivers

(d) Deltaic Rivers

This question was posed to me in an internship interview.

This intriguing question comes from Indian Rivers and Their Classification in section Rivers Behaviour, Control and Training of Irrigation Engineering

Answer 1

The correct choice is (c) Himalayan Rivers

To explain: These types of rivers can derive water from rains in monsoon and winter seasons, but in summer they can derive water from the melting snow or ice from the mountains as these rivers take off from the Himalayas.
