North East India falls within the tropical monsoon climate with an average annual rainfall of 200 cm. It may be noted that the region contains the rainiest locality of the world, i.e. the Mawsynram Cherrapunjee area. Besides, North East India has one of the densiest drainage network in the world, due essentially to high rainfall and the character of the topography with hills, mountain and flat land just opposed together. There are seven sets of drainage system covering the region. They are (i) the Brahmaputra in the north, (ii) Barak - surma system in the middle, (iii) Chindwin system fed by the Tizu, Yu and Manipur rivers in the east and south-east, (iv) Chimtuipui in the southern part, (v) Karnaphuli in the western part of Mizoram (vi) Gumti in the middle part and (vii) Feni in the southern part of Tripura. All these systems are international in their extension and go either to Bangladesh or Myanmar.
