INDUS RIVER: دریاۓ سندھ It is one of the largest river basins of the world, covering an area of 11,65,000 sq. km. The Indus also known as the Sindhu, is the westernmost of the Himalayan river. It originates from a glacier near Bokhar Chu (31°15' N latitude and 81°40' E longitude) in the Tibetan region at an altitude of 4,164 m in the Kailash Mountain range in China. In Tibet, it is known as ‘Singi Khamban; or Lion’s mouth. After flowing in the northwest direction between the Ladakh and Zanskar ranges, it passes through Kargil and Baltistan. It cuts across the Baltistan & Skardu, forming a spectacular gorge near Gilgit. It enters into Pakistan near Kharmang in the Baltistan region. The Indus receives a number of Himalayan tributaries such as the Nubra, the Zanskar, the Drass, the Shyok, the Shigar, the Gilgit, the Hunza, the Astore . It finally emerges out of the hills near Attock where it receives the Kabul river on its right bank. The other important tributaries joining the right bank of the Indus are the Khurram, the Tochi, the Gomal. They all originate in the Sulaiman ranges. The river flows southward and receives ‘Panjnad’ a little above Mithankot. The Panjnad is the name given to the five rivers of Punjab, namely the Satluj, the Beas, the Ravi, the Chenab and the Jhelum. It finally discharges into the Arabian Sea, east of Karachi.

Amazing Sukkur Barrage History
Sukkur Barrage is a barrage on the River Indus near the city of Sukkur in the Sindh province of Pakistan.
History
The Barrage was built during the British Raj from 1923 to 1932 and named Lloyd Barrage. Constructed under the overall direction of Sir Charlton Harrison, CIE, it was opened by the Viceroy of India, Lord Willingdon. The scheme had been launched by the Governor of Bombay, Sir George Ambrose Lloyd (later known as Lord Lloyd) for whom it was named.[2]
Functioning
Sukkur Barrage is used to control water flow in the River Indus for irrigation and flood control purposes.
The barrage enables water to flow through what was originally a network of canals 6,166 miles (9,923 km) long, feeding the largest irrigation system in the world, with more than 5 million acres (20,000 km²) of irrigated land.
The retaining wall has 66 spans each 60 feet (18 m) wide. Each span has a gate weighing 50 tons.
Wildlife
Indus River dolphins are occasionally seen upstream of the barrage.
