	The Indo-Gangetic Plain (from India) -- Britannica Student Encyclopedia
		Today it is called the Great Plains, a high plateau of grassland stretching from the Rio Grande in the south to the delta where the MacKenzie River enters the Arctic Ocean in the north.
		The Tripura Plains are located on a section of the greater Ganges-Brahmaputra lowlands (also called the Eastern Plains), west of the Tripura Hills.
		In the 1840's more and more people began crossing the Great Plains, although few people thought the land was worth settling.

	Welcome to The High Commission of India
		From the Himalayas, one comes down into the Indo-Gangetic plain, then crosses over the Vindhyan mountains to enter the Deccan Peninsula, bounded by the Bay of Bengal to the south-east and the Arabian sea to the south-east, with the southern-most tip projecting into the Indian Ocean.
		Every geographical feature is present in India, from mountains to plains, deserts to seas, and so is a wide variety of flora, fauna and climates, from the tropical to the arctic.
		Other rivers at work in India, transforming the land, include the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri and the Pennar which created the deltas and flood-plains of India's east coast, and the Narmada, Tapti, Sharavati, Netravati, Bharatapuzha, Periyar and the Pamba which did the same for the west coast.

	The Land
		The state can be divided into four physiographic regions: (1) the Himalayan region, (2) the submontane region between the Himalayas and the plains, (3) the central plains of the Ganges River and its tributaries (part of the Indo-Gangetic Plain), and (4) the southern uplands.
		About three-fourths of the total area of Uttar Pradesh is within the Gangetic Plain, which is composed of alluvial deposits brought down from the Himalayas by the Ganges River and its tributaries.
		Most of this area is a featureless, though fertile, plain varying in elevation from about 1,000 feet in the northwest to 190 feet in the extreme east.

		The greater part of the Indo-Gangetic Plain is drained by the Ganges River, which rises in the southern Himalayas and flows in a generally south to southeast direction to the Bay of Bengal.
		The first major changes resulted from the development of giant canal irrigation projects, especially in the western Indo-Gangetic Plain and on the Indus Plain, which now is largely in Pakistan.
		The coastal plains flanking the Deccan are relatively narrow, ranging from 6 to 80 miles (10 to 130 kilometers).

		By another definition, the Indo-Gangetic Plain is divided into two drainage basins by the Delhi Ridge; the western part consists of the Punjab Plain and the Haryana Plain, and the eastern part consists of the Ganga-Brahmaputra drainage systems.
		This divide is only 300 meters above sea level, contributing to the perception that the Indo-Gangetic Plain appears to be continuous between the two drainage basins.
		During the colonial period, these and other hill stations were used by the British as summer retreats to escape the intense heat of the plains.

		For more information see: "Adapting food systems of the Indo-Gangetic plains to global environmental change: key information needs to improve policy formulation".
		The food systems in the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) are largely dependent on rice and wheat grown in rotation.
		In contrast, the eastern region (sub-regions 4and5) of the IGP is a food deficit region characterised by low productivity, low inputs of fertilizer and water, risk of flooding, poor infrastructure and an outward migration of labour.
