The Saraswati valley has preserved evidence of four glacier advances
Moraines, outwash gravel terraces, fluvial drapes and lacustrine sequences are used to infer the pattern of glacial fluctuations in the Saraswati valley (upper Ganga catchment).hese are identified as the Saraswati Glacial Stage (SGS)-1 (oldest) to SGS-4 (youngest).
