Changes in water discharge to Indian rivers. Graphical representations of the data in Table 5. A) Absolute changes in mean annual water discharge, with current discharge shown in light blue, the proportion of water calculated to be gained with full NRLP implementation shown in dark blue, and the proportion of water calculated to be lost with full NRLP implementation shown in hatched red. Note that the Manas, Sankosh, Raidak, Torsa and Jhaldhak are tributaries of the Brahmaputra; their losses sum to the total loss of the Brahmaputra. Similarly, the Kosi, Gandak, Ghaghara, Yamuna, Chambal, Ken, Betwa and Son are tributaries of the Ganga; their losses along with the losses to the Ganga directly sum to the value shown for the Ganga. For all rivers that are not tributaries, values are taken at the basin outlet where it enters the ocean. For tributaries, values are taken at the rivers’ confluences with either the Ganga or Brahmaputra. B) As in (A), but with gains and losses represented as a percent change.
