used for evaluation of tectonic formation of different feature (Geomorphic Units) within the Mula river basin. Good surface analysis research should provide the following information: formation of the basin area, formation of the different geomorphic feature, spatial distribution of geomorphic features. In present article, we have used Remote Sensing and G.I.S. tool to examine the formation of the river basin using DEM analysis. Morphotectonic study plays an important role in deciphering the effects
The Ganges River also called Ganga River is located in Northern India and later becomes the India-Bangladesh border. This river is the biggest river in India.

Given an atmosphere of mistrust, an upper riparian India has serious issues to resolve with lower riparian Pakistan and Bangladesh and, despite being lower riparian, with the upper riparian Nepal.

economic profit. With a good amount of resources available, cultures like India and China thrived in the creation and expansion of their civilizations. Geography helped India and China civilization develop their culture, spread their religion, and determine the rate at which each civilization’s ideas were transferred. The physical features that India and China lived on helped their cultures form and thrive into their current form. India and China are blessed with plentiful water to replenish

Abstract: In her magnum opus River of Fire, Qurratulain Hyder annexes over twenty five centuries of history, tracing the formation, development, evolution and the subsequent partition of culture resulting into the journey of India from a civilisation to nation(s).

Streams and rivers can be found everywhere — their origin may be springs, snowmelt or even lakes, and then travel all the way to mouth, usually another water channel or the ocean. The characteristics of river or stream changes during their journey from their source to mouth. The temperature is much
are four early river valley societies that had successfully met the requirements to be called civilizations: Mesopotamia, Egypt, China and India. These four civilizations encompass several similarities as to how they developed, including location, spirituality, governmental structure and forms of written communication. Location played a fundamental role in the development of these four civilizations. They grew next to rivers, which was source of food and water. Thanks to the river, civilizations
