Detailed Solution

Perennial is the most important characteristic of the Himalayan rivers. That are perennial in nature, the word perennial means that they have water throughout the year, their sources of water are rainfall and melted snow from lofty mountains, on the other hand, the Peninsular rivers are seasonal in nature as their water flow is dependent on rainfall, during the dry seasons large rivers also have reduced water channels. The word perennial originated from a Latin word the ‘Perennis’ which means something that lasts throughout the year, they are also called permanent rivers as they have continuous water flow forever.
