Bhutan has several major river systems flowing swiftly out of the Himalayas that are fed by glaciers in northern Bhutan. They flow south and join the Brahmaputra River basin in India. The Brahmaputra flows into Bangladesh and drains into the Bay of Bengal.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.fisheriesjournal.com/archives/2015/vol2issue4/PartE/2-4-68.pdf|title=Ichthyofaunal diversity, status and Anthropogenic stress of Beki River, Barpeta, Assam|last1=Kalita|first1=Gaurab|last2=Sarma|first2=Pradip|publisher=International Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Studies 2015; 2(4): 241–248|date=23 January 2015|accessdate=13 May 2017}}</ref><br />
