Summary: The book presents geomorphological studies of the major river basins - the Indus, Ganga and Brahmaputra and their tributaries. Besides major basins, the book explores peninsular rivers and other rivers state-by-state. All types of rivers, i.e. snow-fed, rain-fed and groundwater-fed rivers are explained together in a geological framework. Rivers are lifeline and understanding of the rivers, their dynamics, science and socio-economic aspect are very important. However, different sources provide a different database for rivers. But a book which explains all major rivers of a country at a single place was not yet available.

This book complements works in these areas for the last two to three decades on major rivers of India by eminent professors and scientists from different universities, IITs and Indian research institutions.
