The answer is not just heavy rainfall. This video explains how the Brahmaputra River, Himalayan sediment, Assam’s wide river valley, and massive monsoon water flow combine to create recurring floods. The Brahmaputra begins in Tibet, where it is known as the Yarlung Tsangpo, before entering India through Arunachal Pradesh. As it flows down from the Himalayas, it carries enormous amounts of soil, sand, and sediment. When the river reaches the wide Brahmaputra Valley in Assam, its speed decreases. This causes sediment to settle on the riverbed. Over time, the riverbed rises, reducing the space available for water to flow. During the monsoon, major rivers from Arunachal Pradesh and Bhutan—including the Subansiri, Lohit, Dibang, and Manas—join the Brahmaputra at nearly the same time. The huge volume of water can exceed the river’s capacity, causing widespread flooding across Assam. This is why Assam floods are not simply a natural disaster caused by rain. They are a repeating geographical trap created by sediment deposition, a wide valley, and intense monsoon flow. #AssamFloods #BrahmaputraRiver #AssamFloodsExplained RaYeGMzHyXG hAShysHVGT3 liKXrUsDh08 YCkQoe0lrvR 1QLHXBReENu
