Manas River - Hydrology

Hydrology

The catchment is wholly mountainous, rising within the space of 140 kilometres (87 mi) from an elevation of about100 metres (330 ft) near the Indian border to the great Himalayan peaks at over 7,500 metres (24,600 ft) along the main Himalayan range bordering Bhutan and Tibet. The huge altitudinal range and varied climatic conditions are reflected in the great ecological diversity and rich fauna and flora in the river catchment.;
