The state is traversed by numerous rivers, both long and small, with thirty-one rivers flowing through Uttar Pradesh. Some of the major rivers in Uttar Pradesh include the Ganga, Yamuna, Ghaghara, Rapti, Betwa, Ken, Sharda, and Gandak.

These rivers not only provide water for irrigation but also serve as transportation routes, and sources of livelihood, and hold religious significance.

The Ganga River, originating from the Gangotri Glacier in Uttarakhand and flowing through Uttar Pradesh before merging into the Bay of Bengal, is one of the holiest rivers in Hinduism.

The Yamuna River, a major tributary of the Ganges River, originates from the Yamunotri glacier in the lower Himalayas and flows through Uttar Pradesh before joining the Ganga in Prayagraj.

The Ghaghara River, originating near Mapchachungo Glacier in Tibet and merging into the Ganga in Bihar, is another significant river in the region.

Other notable rivers in Uttar Pradesh include the Gomti, Betwa, Chambal, Ken, Rapti, Sharda, Saryu, Son, Varuna, Tons, Dhasan, Sai, Gerua, Kali, Kuwana, Rihand, and many more.
