Question

Ambala is located on the watershed divide between which two river systems?

• A. Ganga and Yamuna
• B. Indus and Brahmaputra
• C. Ganga and Indus
• D. Ganga and Godavari

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Ganga and Indus

• Correct Answer: Option C - Ganga and Indus

• Ambala is a city located in the northern Indian state of Haryana. Its geographical significance lies in its position on a watershed divide between two major river systems of India - the Ganga and the Indus river systems.

• A watershed divide is an elevated land area that separates water flowing into different river basins. In this case:

• Water flowing east from Ambala eventually drains into the Ganga (Ganges) river system, which flows eastward into the Bay of Bengal.

• Water flowing west from Ambala eventually drains into the Indus river system, which flows westward through Pakistan into the Arabian Sea.
