Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Brahmaputra river has smaller quantities of water in the Tibetan territory. It has less silt content owing to the cold and dry Tibetan area. On entering India through Arunachal Pradesh in the northeast, several tributaries join the river. The Dibang and Lohit river joins the Brahmaputra, known as Siang, in the Assam valley, making the river very wide. From this point, the river has the name Brahmaputra. The river has several Himalayan rivers as tributaries. It includes the Subansiri, Dhansiri, Manas, Disang, and Champamati rivers. The heavy rainfall in the northeast regions also contributes to the higher volume of water in the Brahmaputra. It also carries higher amounts of silt as it flows through India.
The correct statement should be that the Brahmaputra river carries large amounts of water in India.
