Explanation:

India’s peninsular rivers have relatively steep gradients and thus rarely give rise to floods of the type that occur in the plains of northern India, despite considerable variations in flow from the dry to wet seasons. Forming Delta or not is irrelevant to the flooding of rivers. It depends more on the river’s silt load, water volume flow, and gradient of flow.
