UNDERSTANDING THE RIVER SYSTEM (Nepal)

The streams of Nepal can be gathered into three classes on the premise of their root: 

Predecessor to Himalaya 

After the Mahabharat 

After the Churia range 

Predecessor streams have a place with the period before the ascent of the Himalaya. These streams included their tributaries amid or after the Himalayan starting point alongside the advancement of storm atmosphere. The significant waterway frameworks to be specific the Koshi, the Karnali and the Gandaki have a place with the precursor bunch. 

After the arrangement of Mahabharat slopes, the predecessor streams changed their courses as Mahabharat remained as a boundary. Thus, the greater part of the streams changed their courses either toward the east or west. Streams starting from the Mahabharat range and slicing through Churia slopes go under the second gathering; these incorporate Kankai, Bagmati, Kamala and so forth. 

                       

The third gathering of streams begins from the southern face of the Churia slopes. With the end goal of business rafting, the accompanying waterway frameworks are being used. 

• Saptakoshi River System (East Nepal) 

• Narayani or Saptagandaki River System (Central Nepal) 

• Karnali River System (West Nepal)
