"Everything including the nature changes and to cry over the past is futile," is completely true in the context of our great rivers.

Nile, Ganga, Sindh, Yangtze and Mississippi were the great names in the past. But they are no more. Everything changes in due course of time. Big rivers are dying due to the construction of big dams, pollution, climate change, landslides, tornadoes, volcanoes and other natural calamities. This is only a matter of time but our great rivers will be only in the pages of history. The great snowy peaks have melted. The great rivers have dried, changed their ways and sizes.

According to the UN, the sources of rivers, the Himalayans are being dried up. Many glaciers lakes in the Himalayan regions have exploded or disappeared due to the climate change. And the process is going in a speedy manner and ultimately the sources of our rivers will dried up and rivers die.

The rivers are changing their ways and the great rivers of the past have dried up gradually. For example Nile and Indus rivers do not contribute to the ocean at all as they are in the process of dying completely within a few years time.

Great rivers Ganga, Sindh, Yangtze and Mississippi have lost their previous sizes.

It is clear that the rivers will dry one day but the question of today is how quickly the rivers will dry up is the matter of discussion. The pace of climate change is so quick that it will not take long time for the death of great rivers. Even if we resolve the problem of climate change, we cannot change the course of nature. The changes have taken place in the world since the creation of the universe and it will go like this without ending the process of change and transformation.

How rivers dry?

We have seen that the earth is changing drastically for the last few centuries and that process is going on. River Indus has almost dried. The deep gorges of the Himalayan regions are the living testimony of changes. There are deep gorges which we cannot even imagine that the rivers are flowing so deep today which were very high a few centuries ago. And this course is going on gradually.

Some horrible incidents are inevitable in the coming days as the natural changes are
