Where does the Brahmaputra River enter India?
Last Updated:
This question examines an important river-or-lake fact: “Where does the Brahmaputra River enter India?” The correct answer is Arunachal Pradesh. The Brahmaputra River enters India through Arunachal Pradesh after flowing through Tibet (China) where it is known as the Yarlung Tsangpo. After entering Assam, it becomes the Brahmaputra. A river system includes its source, tributaries, distributaries, drainage basin, watershed, channel, floodplain, delta or estuary and final outlet. River behaviour depends on relief, geology, rainfall, snowmelt, sediment load, vegetation and human intervention. Examination questions often confuse a river’s source with its mouth, a left-bank tributary with a right-bank tributary, or a natural lake with a reservoir.
