Highlight the salient differences between the Himalayan and the Peninsular drainage Systems.

The Himalayan and Peninsular drainage system differ in terms of the perennial nature of flow, and erosional or depositional landforms. [Diagram description: Two maps showing Himalayan Drainage (rivers: Indus, Sutlej, Ravi, Chenab, Beas, Brahmaputra) and Peninsular Drainage (rivers: Narmada, Mahanadi, Tapi, Godavari, Kaveri) with Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea marked] Himalayan Drainage: 1) Perennial nature of flow due to melting of glaciers 2) Generally follows dendritic pattern of flow 3) Himalayan rivers causes erosion due to gradient in youthful stage 4) Prevalence of glacial landforms in upper reach 5) Carries rich alluvial flow and meandering nature leading to ox-bow lake Peninsular Drainage: 1) Most of the rivers face law water level during dry season 2) Trellis pattern in Narmada; radial pattern in Amakurtak etc. 3) Peninsular drainage has less rapid due to low elevation 4) Prevalence of Karst landform due to groundwater source 5) Generally forms delta in Bay of Bengal. Narmada and Tapi forms estuary.
