The development of the Drainage system of West Bengal was largely governed by technique evolution of the eastern Himalaya and Western edges of the Bengal basin. The characteristics of the rivers as well as a number of aspect of water resources of the state can be linked to its physiographic regions. It is estimate that the western and eastern parts of the state are the most water stressed regions due to climate and human factors respectively.
