The Ganges Basin is a major part of the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) basin draining 1,999,000 square kilometres in Tibet, Nepal, India and Bangladesh. To the north, the Himalaya or lower parallel ranges beyond form the Ganges-Brahmaputra divide. On the west the Ganges Basin borders the Indus basin and then the Aravalli ridge.

It is one of the six main tributaries of the Ganges. [2] The river joins the Alaknanda at Nandprayag (870m), which is one of the panch prayags or holy confluences on the Alaknanda. Flowing through the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, this river traverses a distance of around 105 kilometers before eventually converging with the Alaknanda River.
The Ghaghara River, also known as the Karnali River in Nepal, Mapcha Tsangpo in Tibet, and as the Sarayu River in the lower Ghaghara of India's Awadh, [1] [2] is a perennial trans-boundary river that originates in the northern slopes of the Himalayas in the Tibetan Plateau, cuts through the Himalayas in Nepal and joins the Sharda River at Brahmaghat in India.
It meets its major tributary the Bal Ganga at Ghansali (elevation 976 m (3,202 ft)). The Bal Ganga , whose headwaters are formed at the foot of Mount Kukhli Dhar (elevation 4,600 m (15,100 ft)), itself has a minor tributary, the Dharam Ganga , which meets it at Thati Kathur (also Budha Kedar) at elevation 1,524 m (5,000 ft).
The rugged terrain is cut with valleys of dentritic pattern of streams feeding the tributaries of the Krishna River system. The sub-tributaries and tributaries of Ghatprabha and Malprabha located on the right bank of the Krishna River offer good sites for hydro-electric development through dam-toe-power stations. [1]
