Topic: Ganges Township, Michigan


  
  Ganges - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Ganges
In the second half of its course across the plains, the Ganges is joined by important tributaries, most of which originate on the southern slopes of the Himalayas: the Ramganga, Gumti, Ghaghara (Gogra) in Uttar Pradesh, and in Bihar the Gandak, Burhi Gandak, Ghugri, and Kosi.
The Ganges turns southward as it reaches its delta, and divides; the Padma is the main, easterly, channel, which meets the Brahmaputra at Goalanda in Bangladesh.
The Upper and Lower Ganges Canals, developed in the British period, utilize much of the water and snowmelt of the Himalayas for dry-season irrigation in the area between the Ganges and the Yamuna.
