Ganges River The Ganges, though not the longest river that flows throughIndia, is the longest if we consider the distance covered within the country. In terms of sheer length, the Indus is actually the longest, with the Brahmaputra second, and then the Ganges at 1569 miles. Nevertheless, the...
Starting from the Gangotri glacier in the Himalayan mountains, the River Ganges runs for around 1569 miles, across India as well as Bangladesh, finally entering the Bay of Bengal. The Ganges River is considered extremely sacred or holy in the Indian religion of Hinduism. So much so, that pe...

The Brahmaputra has its starting point in Tibet and runs through Bangladesh, India and China. The river is 1,765 miles long with a drainage basin area of 651,000 square km while the average discharge of water is 19,300 m³/ second. The river plays a significant role in irrigation and ...
This has, for example, been successfully demonstrated with Envisat data over the Brahmaputra River [22], the Amazon River [72] or over the Zambezi River [16]. Jason-2 altimetry has successfully been assimilated to a hydrodynamic model of the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna river system in a real-...

First, the interpolation of water level observations along the river, using the water level slope. This water level slope can, for example, be estimated from the very same data, as done by Villadsen et al. [19] with CryoSat-2 data over the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers. They interpolated...
Figure 4a,b illustrate the vegetation phenology, with the growing season for alpine wetlands starting around May and ending around October. Figure 4c,d indicate that thawing begins around April and freezing starts around September. The suprapermafrost groundwater level peaks from June to September (...
