How does the weather effect the river ganges?

The weather significantly affects the River Ganges in various ways. During the monsoon season, heavy rainfall can lead to increased river flow, causing flooding in adjacent areas and impacting local ecosystems and communities. Conversely, in dry seasons, lower water levels can expose riverbanks and affect water quality. Additionally, temperature fluctuations can influence the river's ecosystem, affecting aquatic life and the overall health of the river.
