Geography of Pakistan: Difference between revisions

The largest river in Pakistan is the [[Indus Rive], which originates in Tibet/China and enters Pakistan through the illegally occupied region of Gilgit-Baltistan, which is under dispute. The Indus River system is divided into two primary plains. The Upper Indus Plain extends from northern Pakistan to Mithankot. The river has tributaries on both its western and eastern sides. The eastern tributaries include the Jhelum, Chenab, Sutlej, Ravi, and Beas rivers, which flow through Punjab and converge at Panjnad, where they form the Panjnad River. On the western side, the tributaries comprise the Swat, Kabul, Kurram, Tochi, Gomal, and Zhob rivers, which join the Indus in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK). At Mithankot, these tributaries meet the Indus River, after which the Indus continues alone through the Lower Indus Plain. This plain stretches from Mithankot to Thatta, where the Indus River empties into the Indian Ocean, forming what is known as the Indus Delta.
