Example of Water Divide

Here are some examples of water divides 

1. The Himalayas: As mentioned earlier, the Himalayas are a major water divide that separates the Indus-Ganges Basin from the Brahmaputra Basin.
2. The Western Ghats: The Western Ghats, which run parallel to the west coast of India, act as a water divide between the Deccan Plateau and the coastal regions of India.
3. The Eastern Ghats: The Eastern Ghats, which run parallel to the east coast of India, form a water divide between the Deccan Plateau and the coastal regions of India.
4. The Vindhya and Satpura Ranges: This mountain ranges in central India form a water divide between the Narmada Basin in the west and the Godavari Basin in the east.
5. The Aravalli Range: The Aravalli Range in Rajasthan acts as a water divide between the Thar Desert in the west and the Indo-Gangetic Plains in the east.

A water divide, also known as a drainage divide or hydrological divide, is a line or ridge that separates two drainage basins, or regions of land that are drained by different river systems. A water divide marks the highest point from which water flows in two different directions, and it determines which rivers will carry water away from a given area of land.

The pattern of flow made by water is influenced by a number of factors, including the slope of the land, the permeability of the soil, and the presence of any physical barriers such as mountains or valleys. In general, water will flow downhill and follow the path of least resistance until it reaches a river or other body of water.
