Pakistan’s River System
Indus River Basin:Salient Features
Pakistan’s Indus River Basin Systemcomprises five main rivers, namely theIndus Jhelum Chenab Ravi and Sutlej;Indus, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi and Sutlej;
Aided by a number of smaller rivers (Kabul,Swat, Haro, Kunhar, Chitral, Tochi, ShahAlam, Naguman, Adezai, Soan etc) andstreams/Nullahs, these five rivers supplywater to the entire Indus Basin IrrigationSystem;y ;
These rivers have their origin in the higheraltitudes and derive their flows mainly fromsnow-melt and monsoon rains;

Indus River Basin:Salient Features
Catchment area of Indus is most unique inthe sense that it contains seven (7) of thethe sense that it contains seven (7) of theworld’s highest peaks after Mount Everest.Among these include the K2 (28,253 ft),Nanga Parbat (26,600 ft), Rakaposhi(25,552 ft) etc.;
Further to above, seven(7) glaciers situatedin the Indus catchment are among thein the Indus catchment are among thelargest in the world, namely, Siachin,Hispar, Biafo, Baltura, Baltoro, Barpu andHopper.
