Indus River System

The Indus River System is a vast network of rivers originating in Tibet and flowing through India and Pakistan, ultimately draining into the Arabian Sea. It includes the main river, the Indus, and its many tributaries, like the Jhelum, Chenab, and Ravi. This system supports agriculture, provides drinking water, and sustains ecosystems in the region. Historically, it has been a crucial civilization corridor, notably for the ancient Indus Valley civilization. Its health and management are vital for millions of people who rely on its water for their livelihoods, emphasizing the importance of sustainable use and conservation.
