Indus River
The Indus River is Pakistan's longest river, originating in Tibet and flowing through northern Pakistan before emptying into the Arabian Sea. It has an extensive basin covering parts of Pakistan, India, China, and Afghanistan, and supports Pakistan's largest irrigation system. This system, which includes major dams like Tarbela and Mangla, numerous barrages and canals, irrigates over 14 million hectares of farmland and is vital to Pakistan's agriculture and economy.
River Indus
The Indus River is one of the longest rivers in Asia at 3,180 km long. It originates in Tibet near Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar and flows through Ladakh, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan before emptying into the Arabian Sea near Thatta, Sindh. Along its course it passes many other rivers that also eventually flow into the Indus and it is the longest and most important river for Pakistan.
India
The northern plain of India is formed by three major river systems - the Indus, Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers. This plain covers an area of around 7 lakh square kilometers and is composed of alluvial soil deposited over millions of years. The northern plain is divided into the Punjab, Ganges, and Brahmaputra plains. The Punjab plain lies in the west and is formed by the Indus and its tributaries. The Ganges plain stretches between the Ghaggar and Tista rivers and includes parts of several northern Indian states. The Brahmaputra plain forms the eastern part of the northern plain and lies in Assam.

DRAINAGE.pptx
CONTENTS
1) A drainage
basin is an extent
or area of land
where water from
rain and melting
snow or ice drain
s downhill into a
body of water.
2) Each drainage
basin is separated
topographically
from adjacent
basins by a
geographical
barrier such as a
ridge, hill or mou
ntain, which is
known as a water
divide.
3)There are four types of drainage patterns:-
➢ Dendritic
➢ Rectangular
➢ Radial
➢ Trellis
4)The drainage systems of India are mainly controlled
by the broad relief features of the subcontinent.
Accordingly, the Indian rivers are divided into two
major groups.
5) The activities of Ganga Action Plan (GAP) phase-I, initiated in
1985, were declared closed on 31st March 2000. The Steering
Committee of the National River Conservation Authority
reviewed the progress of the GAP and necessary correction on
the basis of lessons learnt and experiences gained from GAP
Phase-I. These have been applied to the major polluted rivers of
the country under the NRCP. The Ganga Action Plan (GAP)
Phase-II, has been merged with the NRCP. The expanded NRCP
now covers 152 towns located along 27 interstate rivers in 16
states. Under this action plan, pollution abatement works are
being taken up in 57 towns. A total of 215 schemes of pollution
abatement have been sanctioned. So far, 69 schemes have been
completed under this action plan. A million litres of sewage is
targeted to be intercepted, diverted and treated.
6) Rivers have been of fundamental importance
throughout the human history. Water from the
rivers is a basic natural resource, essential for
various human activities. Therefore, the river
banks have attracted settlers from ancient times.
These settlements have now become big cities.
Make a list of cities in your state which are located
on the bank of a river. Using rivers for irrigation,
navigation, hydro-power generation is of special
significance – particularly to a country like India,
where agriculture is the major source of livelihood
of the majority of its population.
7) The growing domestic, municipal, industrial and agricultural
demand for water from rivers naturally affects the quality of
water. As a result, more and more water is being drained out
of the rivers reducing their volume. On the other hand, a
heavy load of untreated sewage and industrial effluents are
emptied into the rivers. This affects not only the quality of
water but also the self-cleansing capacity of the river. For
example, given the adequate streamflow, the Ganga water is
able to dilute and assimilate pollution loads within 20 km of
large cities. But the increasing urbanisation and
industrialisation do not allow it to happen and the pollution
level of many rivers has been rising. Concern over rising
pollution in our rivers led to the launching of various action
plans to clean the rivers.

Indian rivers
Rivers have played an important role in the development of civilizations in India. The Indus Valley Civilization and Saraswati River Civilization emerged along major river systems in ancient India. Some of India's most significant rivers that shaped civilizations include the Ganges, Brahmaputra, Kaveri, and Narmada. These rivers originated in the Himalayas and provided water for agriculture, transportation, and supported major settlements and trade. However, modern infrastructure projects also threaten local environments if not implemented sustainably.

Drainage part 1
The document discusses the drainage systems of India, focusing on the Himalayan river systems. It notes that the major Himalayan rivers are the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra rivers and their tributaries. These rivers originated in the Himalayan mountains even before their formation. They have cut deep gorges and are examples of antecedent drainage. The Indus river system is then described in detail, including its major tributaries like the Jhelum, Chenab, Beas, and Satluj rivers. The document provides locations and details about each of these rivers.
THE INDUS VALLEY CIVILIZATION AND INDUS PLAINS
The Indus Valley Civilisation (IVC) was a Bronze Age civilisation in the northwestern regions of South Asia, lasting from 3300 BCE to 1300 BCE, and in its mature form from 2600 BCE to 1900 BCE.
Geographical range: Basins of the Indus River, ...
Dates: c. 3300 – c. 1300 BCE
Indus civilization, also called Indus valley civilization or Harappan civilization, the earliest known urban culture of the Indian subcontinent. The nuclear dates of the civilization appear to be about 2500–1700 bce, though the southern sites may have lasted later into the 2nd millennium bce.
