The river is considered one of
the most important and biggest
river of asia. About 1,800 miles
(2,900 km) long, the
Brahmaputra is an important
river for irrigation and
transportation. The average
depth of the river is 124 feet
(38 m) and maximum depth is
380 feet (120 m). The river is
prone to catastrophic flooding
in spring when the Himalayan
snows melts.
ANGSI GLACIER

INDIA
With its origin in the Angsi Glacier,
located on the northern side of the
Himalayas in Burang County of China's
Tibet Autonomous Region as the Yarlung
Tsangpo River, it flows across southern
Tibet to break through the Himalayas in
great gorges and into Arunachal Pradesh
where it is known as Dihang.
Starting from the Angsi Glacier in china,
the Brahmaputra river passes through
various states and religious places in india
and then continues its way into the bay of
Bengal. During its journey It passes
through Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and
then west Bengal into the the bay of
Bengal.
Brahmaputra River is one of the major
rivers of India. In fact it is the biggest river
in India. Starting from the Angsi glacier to
its end in the Bay of Bengal, it covers a
distance of 2900 km passing through
various places like Guwahati, Umananda
Bhairab, Pandughat, Goalundo etc.
The great earthquake of 1950 created
havoc, specially in the upper reaches of the
Himalayas in and around the Siang and the
Diboug river courses as well as in the upper
Assam plains. There was considerable impact
on the topography on both sides of the
Brahmaputra Valley. This natural calamity
was mainly responsible for the abrupt
changes in the river ecology.
Instead of constructing an artificial dam
to prevent river water overflowing the
bank and low-lying areas, the natural
process of flooding should have been
allowed to continue. With the gradual
removal of debris either naturally or by
mechanical means, the fury of the floods
would have eased in course of time.
