    The document summarizes key aspects of river drainage systems and India's major river systems. It describes four common drainage patterns - dendritic, trellis, radial, and rectangular - and features formed by river erosion like gorges, meanders, and deltas. It then outlines India's two major river systems - the Himalayan and peninsular rivers. The Ganga, Brahmaputra, and Indus river systems of the Himalayas are described as well as four major peninsular basins - Godavari, Narmada, Krishna, and Kaveri. Rivers play important roles like irrigation, navigation, domestic water supply, and hydroelectricity.
