Q. Which among the following is not true about the Himalayan rivers?
Answer: They receive water only from rains
Notes: The Himalayan rivers are perennial rivers as they are not dependent upon rainfall to feed them. They originate in the Himalayas as a result of melting of ice and glaciers. The five main rivers of the Himalayas are the Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej. In contrast, peninsular rivers receive water only from monsoon rainfall and flows in rainy seasons.
