Manjor River System In India 

The majority of the rivers drain into the Bay of Bengal. Some rivers flow across the western section of the country and eventually join the Arabian Sea. Inland drainage occurs in the northern Aravalli range, sections of Ladakh, and arid regions of the Thar Desert. All significant rivers in India flow from one of three major watersheds:

  • The Himalaya and the Karakoram range
  • The Chota Nagpur plateau and Vindhya and Satpura range
  • The Western Ghats

The following are India’s major river systems:

Indian River Systems
River System Total length Length in  India
Indus River System 3180  km 1114 km
Brahmaputra River System 2900 km 916 km
Ganga River System 2510 km 2510 km
Yamuna river System 1376 km 1376 km
Narmada River System 1312 km 1312 km
Tapi River System 724 km 724 km
Godavari River System 1465 km 1465 km
Krishna River System 1400 km 1400 km
Cauvery River System 805 km 805 km
Mahanadi River System 851 km 851 km

It’s always a glacier or a ghat that provides for these annual and perennial rivers. Hope that was enough for you. Keep learning and have a nice day! 🙂
