Non perennial rivers are also known as seasnal or peninsular river . These rivers are non perennial because they flow in certain parts of the year when rainfall is sufficient to provide runoff, the rest of the time it is just a dry river bed.
The rivers of Peninsular India are not suitable for navigation as they flow swiftly over the plateaus and highlands.The rivers in South India are rain-fed and dry up in the hot and dry season. The peninsular rivers of the south have their source in the Western Ghats and flow across hills making a number of waterfalls, which are not navigable, but provide Hydro-electricity.
Fed by both monsoons,the rivers of Tamilnadu are practically non-perennial
The rivers of the Deccan plateau receive water only from the rains hence they are non-perennial and non navigable as they flow through a rugged terrain.

It tends to dry-up through the lack of rain
Non-perennial rivers, also known as ephemeral or intermittent rivers, flow only during certain periods, often in response to seasonal rainfall or snowmelt. Examples include the Wadi system in the Middle East, which can be dry for much of the year, and the seasonal rivers in arid regions, such as the Rio Grande in certain stretches. These rivers may also flow sporadically after heavy rain events but can be completely dry at other times.
Examples of non-perennial rivers include the Santa Ana River in California, USA, the Barak River in India, and the Okavango River in Botswana. These rivers do not flow year-round due to seasonal variations in precipitation and water availability.
Perennial canals have water flowing in them round the year. but Non perennial canal are fed only in particular seasons especially during monsoon.
perennial ones are those that do not dry out. that flow throughout the year. eg nile, ganges,non-perennial ones depend on the rainy seasons and it comes alive during such times
