QUESTION
How to decide which river is main and which one is tributary?

It is said - Yamuna merges in the Ganga. Why not the Ganga into the Yamuna? Both have a long run before they reach Allahabad.

What is the criteria to decide which one is main river and which is the tributary? It is useful to understand so many questions in terms of River Conservation and priority decision pertaining to that.
