RIVER SYSTEM AND WATER RESOURCES
River System The drainage system of the northern sub-continent of India has been divided by the Aravali range, one flowing towards the Bay of Bengal and the other towards the Arabian sea. In Rajasthan, the Aravalis form the important watershed. They also provide effective catchment for the rivers originating from them.
Some of the rivers in the state flow for some distance and then disappear before entering into any of the seas. Thus the rivers of Rajasthan may be classified into three systems : (i) the northeast flowing river system, (ii) the southwest flowing river system and (iii) the inland drainage system.
