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.
For instance, a high average erosion rate of 1.8 mm/yr has been reported in the frontal Sutlej's Himalayan catchment, contributing to large sedimentation load. [14] Below the Indo-Gangetic Plain lies the generally undeformed Indian Craton strata. All of them are bounded by the Main Frontal thrust (MFT) at the northeast side. [3]
