basin .
2.Many rainforests have been cleared for various purposes in
the past few decades due to the increase in the population 
3. Amazon is being inhabited due to economic potential.
4. Big forest areas were cleared for constructing roads and
setting up camp areas ( lumbering camps)
Ganga-Brahmaputra Basin

The Ganga is the major river of the

Indian Sub-continent.
The two big rivers of India are Ganga
and Brahmaputra .
Ganga and Brahmaputra join together
in Bangladesh and form the world's
largest delta, known as Ganga-
Brahmaputra Delta.
 Ganga-Brahmaputra basin is the
part of the northern plains of the
Indian sub-continent.

It lies to the south of the foothills of

i the Shivalik. i

It is a vast low-lying plain, covering

a distance of about 2,500 km.
The Geography Of The
Ganga Brahmaputra Basin
    This plain is drained by the three big rivers of India-
The Indus, The Ganga and The Brahmaputra. The fine
alluvial is deposited here.

The streams of the rivers form a network of water

channels and drain into the Bay Bengal.

The northern plains include the states of Haryana,

Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal and Assam.  
  The
Geography Of The
Ganga Brahmaputra Basin

 Climate- 
       Hot and Humid

 Rainfall-  i
      Heavy rainfall, mainly concentrated during three 
      months of the monsoon.
      Average rainfall - about 200 cm.

 Forest- 
     The basin is covered with tropical deciduous forests.
     The area is now converted into farms & settlements.
 Sunder ban Delta
• The Lowest part of the Ganga delta is covered with
Mangrove forests.

• These forests are dominated by a plant species locally

known as Sundari.

• Thus, this area is named as Sunder ban 

• The soil of Ganga-Brahmaputra Basin is very Fertile

and suitable for cultivation of crops 

• Eg: Wheat, Rice, Sugarcane, Jute, Tea.

 Development of Places near the Riverbank 
 Many Cities are Located near or on the riverbanks.
EXAMPLES-Allahabad, Varanasi, Patna, Guwahati.

 These cities are developing at a very fast rate.

 This is because of abundance of water and fertile soil

which helps flora and fauna to flourish.

 Argo-based industries like textile and sugar are common in

this region.
