The Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna system has the second-greatest average discharge of the world's rivers—roughly ~44,000 m 3 /s (1,600,000 cu ft/s), and the river Brahmaputra alone supplies about 50% of the total discharge.
Here, only those rivers whose discharge is more than 2,000 m 3 /s (71,000 cu ft/s) are shown. It can be thought of as a list of the biggest rivers on Earth, measured by a specific metric. It can be thought of as a list of the biggest rivers on Earth, measured by a specific metric.

This is a list of dams on the Brahmaputra River and hydro–infrastructure in the Brahmaputra River Basin which is a key constituent of the Ganges-Brahmaputra basin of Himalayan rivers. Brahmaputra originates near Mount Kailash , flows through Tibet where it is called Yarlung Tsangpo .
