Brahmaputra RiverRiver, Central and South Asia. From its headsprings in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China (as the Yarlung River), it flows across southern Tibet to break through the Himalayas in great gorges (where it is known as the Dihang). It flows southwest through the Assam Valley and south through Bangladesh (where it is known as the Jamuna). There it merges with the Ganges (Ganga) to form a vast delta. About 1,800 mi (2,900 km) long, the river is an important source for irrigation and transportation. Its upper course was long unknown, and its identity with the Zangbo was only established by exploration in 1884–86. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | Deepor Beel is one of the largest and most important beels in the Brahmaputra valley of lower Assam and is a representative wetland type found within the bio geographic province, 'Burma Monsoon Forest'. This fluvial network provided a distinguishing environment throughout the history of Bengal, but it also linked the region to the larger Ganga and Brahmaputra valley networks, on the one hand, and to the east coast and Bay of Bengal systems, on the other. For the most part, it comes from the Brahmaputra Valley, which is known for both its hills and its rain. |
