From its origin in south-western Tibet as the Yarlung Zangbo River, it flows across southern Tibet to break through the Himalayas in great gorges and into Arunachal Pradesh where it is known as Dihang. It flows southwest through the Assam Valley as Brahmaputra and south through Bangladesh as the Jamuna. There it merges with the Ganges to form the world's largest delta. About 1,800 miles long the river is an important source for irrigation and transportation. During the monsoon season flooding is a common occurrence. Occasionally flooding causes huge losses to crops, life and property.
