I'm told the Indus and the Brahmaputra are older then the Himalayas. ie they existed even before the Indian sub-continental plate crashed into Euro-asia and the himalayas were formed. But how can you date a river?

These rivers have their source from the melting snows of Himalayas. How can they be older than himalayas. Before the Himalayas, there was sea in its place (before the indian plate crashed in to the asian plate ) ... so I am not sure about the validity of the existence of those rivers before himalayas.
As for dating a river, no clue !!!

It is one futile excercise. No way, you can say 'this is it' about rivers, mountanins or any of the gods creations. When we accept it is was existed even before Himalaya's - how on earth can anyone prove or date something which is older than any known thing on earth. Indus originates from Manas sarovar, which is place of Lord Shiva - and can we date Lord Shiva ? hmmn. impossible.

I am totally guessing here, but maybe somehow by the sediment in the bottom and/or along the banks????

"Stream"line the date with a friendly "watered" down beer, not before "wave"ing to it first of course.
Haha that was really lame.
