Approximately 1.5 billion people rely on water runoff from the Himalayas, as this region is a crucial source of rivers that supply water for drinking, agriculture, and industry. The major rivers originating from the Himalayas, such as the Ganges, Indus, and Brahmaputra, support the livelihoods of millions across several countries, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal. This dependency highlights the significance of the Himalayas in sustaining water resources for a substantial portion of the world's population.

The Gangetic Plain was primarily shaped by the deposition of sediment carried by the rivers originating from the Himalayas, namely the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Yamuna rivers. These rivers brought nutrient-rich sediment that accumulated over time, creating the flat and fertile landscape characteristic of the Gangetic Plain.
The Himalayas are home to some of the tallest mountains in the world.
The northern plains in India were formed as a result of the deposition of alluvial soil by the rivers originating from the Himalayas. Over millions of years, the rivers gradually brought sediment from the mountains, depositing it in the northern region and creating the vast fertile plains we see today.
Rivers which rise from Himalayas contain water throughout the year due to melting snow of Himalayas, whereas rivers of Deccan plateau contain water only during rainy season.
