Indian Cities located on Banks of Rivers


Rivers and their tributaries are the planet's veins and arteries, that provide fresh water to wetlands, lakes, and the sea. Rivers help maintain fisheries worth billions of dollars by gushing nutrients through aquatic ecosystems, keeping thousands of species alive. Rivers are also essential to the survival of human civilizations.

All rivers have a starting point from which water begins to flow called the headwater. The mouth is the other end of a river, where the river empties into a larger body of water, such as a lake or ocean. Rivers also form an estuary, which is where salty seawater meets freshwater near the river mouth to make "brackish water."

The movement of water in a river is called a current.

Humans use rivers for:

  • Irrigation in agriculture
  • Drinking purposes
  • Transportation
  • Producing electricity through hydroelectric dams
  • Leisure activities like swimming and boating

The longest river in the world is the Nile in Africa, and the largest river in the world is the Amazon in South America.

Scientists known as limnologists are responsible for monitoring the health of rivers, lakes, and streams.

There are many cities in India and other countries all across the globe situated near the banks of a river. It can be attributed to the fact that civilization gets set up near a resource centre and the river provides the most basic requirement of life, i.e., water.
