he Ganga basin outspreads in India,

Tibet (China), Nepal and Bangladesh
over an area of 10,86,000 Sq.km.
In India, it covers states of Uttar Pradesh,
Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar, West
Bengal, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, Haryana,
Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh and Union
Territory of Delhi draining an area of 8,61,452
Sq.km which is nearly 26% of the total
geographical area of the country. The basin
lies between east longitudes 732 to 895
and north latitudes 216 to 3121 having
maximum length and width of approx. 1,543
km and 1024 km. The basin is bounded by the
Himalayas on the north, by the Aravalli on
the west, by the Vindhyas and Chhotanagpur
plateau on the south and by the Brahmaputra
Ridge on the east.
The Ganga rises in the Gangotri glacier in the
Himalayas at an elevation of about 7,010 m in
the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. At its
source, the river is called as the Bhagirathi.
It descends down the valley upto Devprayag
where after joining another hill stream
Alaknanda, it is called Ganga. The total length
of river Ganga (measured along the Bhagirathi
and the Hooghly) up to its outfall into Bay of
Bengal is 2,525 km. The principal tributaries
joining the river from right are the Yamuna
and the Son. The Ramganga, the Ghaghra, the
Gandak, the Kosi and the Mahananda join the
river from left. The Chambal and the Betwa
are the two other important sub- tributaries.
The major part of basin in Indian territory
is covered with agricultural land accounting
to 65.57% of the total area and 3.47% of
the basin is covered by water bodies. The
basin spreads over 239 parliamentary
constituencies (2009) comprising 80 of Uttar
Pradesh, 40 of Bihar, 40 of West Bengal, 25
of Madhya Pradesh, 16 of Rajasthan, 12 of
Jharkhand, 8 of Haryana, 5 of Uttarakhand, 4
of Chhattisgarh, 2 of Himachal Pradesh and 7
of Union Territory of Delhi.
