Himalaya river:-The Himalayan Rivers are  the perennial river.They are generally snow-fed and have reasonable flow throughout the year. During the monsoon, the Himalayas receive very heavy rainfall and the rivers discharge the maximum quantity of water causing frequent floods.

 Peninsular river:-The Peninsular Rivers are generally rain-fed and therefore, fluctuate in volume.

Hydrosphere :- Hydrosphere consist of all water bodies resources like ocean, seas ,lakes ,rivers ,glacier ground water etc. Hydrosphere In the earth 97% ,earth water supply is in oceans. About 2% water are in icecapes and glacier. Only 1% fresh water is available  in the water bodies for human consumption.   The water bodies are river ,lake and ground water.
