Difference between the rivers rising in the Himalayas and those rising in the Peninsular plateau are primarily a result of the differences between the two areas in terms of relief and climate.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Peninsular drainage system is older than the Himalayan one. This is evident from the broad, largely-graded shallow valleys, and the maturity of the rivers. Rivers follow the relief pattern of the plateau. Except for the rivers flowing through fault valleys, the slope of all rivers is very gentle.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
