The Brahmaputra River, known as Tsang Po in Tibet and Jamuna in Bangladesh, originates from Tibet, near Lake Mansarovar. It flows parallel to the Himalayas and enters India in Arunachal Pradesh, where it's called the Dihang. Here, it is joined by several tributaries, including the Dibang and Lohit, before flowing through Assam, characterized by a braided channel and the formation of riverine islands. Despite its vast course, it carries less water and silt in its Tibetan section due to the dry climate, whereas it gains a large volume of water and substantial silt in India due to high rainfall. The river is prone to flooding during the monsoon season, which can lead to extensive damage and the shifting of its channel. Its importance extends beyond hydrology, as it supports agriculture, biodiversity, and the livelihoods of millions of people, making it a crucial feature of the Indian drainage system.
