Answer
The Ganga is navigable from its mouth right upto Allahabad because of the following reasons-
- Ganga is a perennial river fed by monsoon rains in the rainy season and melting of snow on the lofty mountains during dry season.
- It is joined by Yamuna, Son, Ramaganga, Gomti, Ghagra, Gandak and Kosi which increase the depth of water in Ganga, which is more than 10 metres up to Allahabad.
- The slope of the Ganga is gradual and the river bed is free from stones and silt.
