The rivers of North Bengal are formed by the melting of ice. Hence, they are also called Snowfed rivers. The important rivers of the northern part of West Bengal are Mahananda, Teesta, Torsa, Jaldhaka, Kaljani and Raidak. The rivers of the Western plateau region of West Bengal are rainfed rivers as they usually have water during the rainy season. Some important rivers of this region are Ajay, Mayurakshi, Damodar, Rupnarayan, Haldi and Subarnarekha. The rivers of the South or Sundarbans REgion are fed by the tides. During low tides, they get more or less dry but during high tides, they overflow their banks. Some important rivers of this region are Ichamati, Raimangal, Saptamukhi, Matla, Gosaba, Hariabhanga, Thakuran, etc.
