Description :
The AA. select 2 regions of the Gangetic plains to compare the morphology, hydrology, and fluvial processes : the Ganga-Yamuna interfluve in the Western Gangetic Plains (WGP) of Utar Pradesh and the Gandak-Kosi interfluve in the Eastern Gangetic Plains (EGP) of north Bihar. The aim of this paper is to investigate the spatial inhomogeneity across the plains and to explain any diversity in terms of geomorphic and geologic controls.
