The hydrological characteristics of the Ganges, and the reasons for their formation.

The Ganges River is located in the north-central part of India, between the Himalayas and the Deccan Plateau, and flows out of the river. Because the area that flows through belongs to the tropical monsoon climate, so the rainwater supply is the main, the flood season is the same as the rainy season, the seasonal variation, the interannual variation is large, the summer is prone to flood disasters, the water is abundant, the flow rate is gentle, the sediment content is small, and there is no icing phenomenon.

The Ganges Plain with deep soil and fertile soil is developed along the banks of the Ganges River, which provides favorable conditions for agricultural production, but also provides irrigation water.

The Ganges is probably more religiously important than any river in the world. It has been revered since ancient times and is today considered the holiest river by Hindus. While the places of Hajj for Hindus, known as holy places, are spread across the subcontinent, those that sit on the banks of the Ganges River have a special significance.

Among them is the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers near Allahabad, where bathing festivals are held in January and February; Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims are immersed in the river.

The Ganges has about 13 million kilowatts of hydroelectric power, of which about 2.5 is in India and the rest in Nepal.

The local belongsTropical monsoon climate, precipitation is extremely high and occurs intensively over several months. As a result, the limited river channel in the rainy season is not well discharged.

The local northward transport section is the towering Himalayas.

The vast majority of the southwest monsoon is blocked by the mountains and rains on the windward slopes, all towards the Ganges.

Catchment. The Gangetic Plain is flat, and even the trumpet-shaped estuaries in the delta region have storm surge support. The urbanization brought about by the rapid population growth in northern India, the deforestation of vegetation in the upper reaches of India, and the problem of turning forests into cultivation are more serious.

Environmental protection. Rising sea levels are putting the vast and fertile islands of the Ganges Delta at risk of flooding, which will affect India and Bangladesh.

Bringing environmental disasters and refugee crises. Many of the people along the long coastline are villagers of the island of Glamara, and even women dressed in purple, orange and green saris fight against the tide. For the islanders, every day begins and ends.

When dusk falls, people return to thatched huts. In the morning, the seawall will be damaged and the work will begin again. The Sundarbans are vast and low-lying, and are the largest mangrove forest in the world.

is a reality, not a prophecy.

The characteristics of the water of the Ganges are as follows:1Polymineralized content:

The water body of the Ganges River contains a large amount of mineralization, especially calcium, magnesium, and iron. These mineralisations are formed as a result of rivers crossing layers of rock that contain these mineralisations. 2.

Colour: The water of the Ganges River has a turbid grey or yellow color, which is caused by soil and sand, microorganisms, plant detritus, etc., suspended in the water. 3.

pH: The pH of the Ganges is usually in the range of the Solstice and is neutral to alkaline. This is due to the presence of carbonate material in the water body, which comes in part from the area where the river flows through carbonate-bearing rocks.

4.Temperature: The Ganges water is usually warmer, especially during the summer months.

The water of the Ganges River flows mainly through India but also through parts of Bangladesh and Nepal. Due to the changes in climate and topography in these regions, the water of the Ganges River takes on different characteristics in different places.

Ganges water has the following characteristics:1Geographical location:

The Ganges River is located in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent and flows through India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. 2.Yellow aqua:

The water of the Ganges is yellow due to the sediment contained in its bed and the very high content of suspended matter in the water. 3.Water Pollution:

Due to waste and chemicals emitted by industry and humans, the Ganges has become one of the most polluted rivers in the world. Although India** has made great progress in improving and protecting the Ganges, the Ganges River is still a pollution problem. 4.

Religious significance: The Ganges River has great religious significance in Hinduism and Buddhism and is considered a sacred river. Many Hindus look forward to dying on the banks of the Ganges in order to attain liberation.

Tourists can take part in many activities along the Ganges, such as bathing, paddle worship and vegetarian feasts.

It is mainly a tropical monsoon climate, with a large amount of water and a large seasonal variation of water volume.

Rainwater recharge is the mainstay;

The flood season occurs from June to September, and the dry season is from October to May.

No ice period; It mainly flows through the plains, with a small drop, slow water flow and little water energy;

It is greatly affected by humans, and the vegetation is seriously damaged and the sediment content is large;

Flooding is common near the estuary.

The average annual flow of Yanta District is 100 million cubic meters, and the maximum peak flood flow is cubic meters per second. After the 70s of the 20th century, due to the interception of many places in the upper reaches, the Chan River has changed from a perennial smooth river to a seasonal river, with a huge difference between abundance and drought, with an annual utilization of 1.63 million cubic meters, accounting for only 1% of the flow.

In the Baqiao area, the average annual runoff of the Chanhe River is 100 million cubic meters, and the average annual sediment transport is 2.5 million tons. The maximum peak flood flow is 586 cubic meters per second (Yuedengge, June 1957), and the most dry and interrupted flow.

In the Weiyang section, the measured peak flood flow on June 3, 1953 was 630 meters per second, which was equivalent to a flood once in 20 years.

It is relatively gentle, and in general it is high in the northwest and low in the southeast.

Basis: The direction of the old river stream.

The Ganges River originates in the southern slopes of the Himalayas, flows through the Gangetic Plain, joins the Brahmaputra River in the lower reaches, flows from the plateau in the north through the Pingduan Xiaoyuan in the middle, and finally pours into the Bay of Bengal. It can be seen that the river runs north-south and flows from northwest to southeast, which can be characterized by topography.

The Gangetic Plain has deep soil, but due to serious reclamation, the vegetation coverage rate has decreased, resulting in serious soil erosion, so the sediment content has increased greatly in the downstream after flowing through.

At the same time, the Ganges River flows down from the Himalayas, the roof of the world, and its upper reaches have the characteristics of rivers in alpine areas, with narrow valleys and large water waves; The middle and lower reaches are plains, so the river is wide and the water flow is gentle. It is more conducive to sediment accumulation.
