Detailed Solution

Perennial rivers have water throughout the year. On the other hand, the Peninsular rivers are seasonal because their water flow is dependent on rainfall, and large rivers also have reduced water channels during the dry seasons. Most of the Himalayan rivers are perennial, meaning they have water throughout the year from rainfall and melted snow from lofty mountains. Perennial comes from the Latin word "Perennis," which means "enduring throughout the year." They are also known as permanent rivers since they have year-round water flow, such as the Ganga.
