Question

Which type of rivers is more stable?

(a) Himalayan Rivers

(b) Non-Himalayan Rivers

(c) Virgin Rivers

(d) Flashy Rivers

I got this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

My question is from Indian Rivers and Their Classification in portion Rivers Behaviour, Control and Training of Irrigation Engineering

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) Non-Himalayan Rivers

To elaborate: The Non-Himalayan Rivers are more stable compared to Himalayan Rivers as they flow through non-alluvial rivers. They also pose no risk of a rise in high floods during rainy seasons because these rivers draw their waters from these seasons itself.
