| Abstract: | Late Cenozoic fresh water molasses sediments (+6000 m thick) deposited all along the length of the Himalayan fore deep, form
the Siwalik Supergroup. This paper reports the results of the paleodrainage and paleohydrology of the Middle Siwalik sub-group
of rocks, deposited in non-marine basins adjacent to a rising mountain chain during Pliocene. Well-exposed sections of these
rocks have provided adequate paleodrainage data for the reconstruction of paleochannel morphology and paleohydrological attributes
of the Pliocene fluvial system. |
