Fresh drinking-water brooks like these provide enough of water to the inhabitants of Karachi. Thatto (Sindh, Pakistan) provides around 70% of Karachi's fresh water supply. The rulers of Sindh planned this water supply for Karachi (at the time a tiny town) around 1200 years ago.

HAMAL LAKE, Larkana (Sindh, Pakistan) Hamal Lake is situated 58 km from Larkana city and 40 km from Qambar town. The length of the lake is 25 km, the width is 10 km, and it has a surface area of 2,965 acres (1,200 ha). It is a freshwater lake, and the main source of water is the streams that come through the Kirthar Mountains. Hamal Lake is the habitat of resident and Siberian migratory birds like ducks, geese, coots, shorebirds, cormorants, flamingos, herons, ibises, gulls, terns, and egrets. It is also a great nursery for freshwater fish. But now the environment and wildlife of this lake are badly affected by the discharging of poisonous and saline water from the Hirdin drain.

Mohenjo Daro, Larkana (Sindh, Pakistan)

[thelarkana]

In the words of Sir John Marshall: 

The Great Baths (Mohenjo-Daro-Larkana, Sindh-Pakistan): 

One of the most spectacular structures at Mohenjo is the 'Great Bath', which is astonishingly well preserved and measures 180 feet north to south and 108 feet east to west. It is described as a “vast hydropathic establishment and the most imposing of all the remains unearthed at Mohenjo-Daro" by Sir Marshall. 

“Its plan is simple: in the center, an open quadrangle with verandahs on its four sides, and at the back of three of the verandahs, various galleries and rooms; on the south, a long gallery with a small chamber in each corner; on the east, a single range of small chambers, including one with a well; on the north, a group of several halls and a fair-sized room. In the midst of the open quadrangle is a large swimming pool, some 39 feet long by 23 feet broad and sunk about 8 feet below the paving of the court, with a flight of steps at either end and at the foot of each a low platform for the convenience of bathers who might otherwise have found the water too deep. The bath was filled from the well, and the waste water was carried off through a covered drain. The Great Bath had at least one upper level, as evidenced by a stairway. A large amount of timber, possibly richly carved, must have gone to the building of the upper storey, judging from the quantities of charcoal and ashes found in the course of  excavation." 

The outer walls of the Great Bath measure between 7 and 8 feet in thickness and were lined with bitumen.

Kahu-jo-Daro (Mirpurkhas, Sindh, Pakistan)

4th-century Ancient Buddhist stupa from SINDH! This stupa of Buddha was found near 4thcentury Buddhist metropolis "Kahu-Jo-Darro" in Mirpur Khas (Sindh, Pakistan). The stupa was decorated using terracotta sculptures representing the Buddha. The artwork is similar to that seen at Sarnath and at Mathura. Clay tablets containing the Buddhist formula "Ye Dharma Hetu" in 7th-8th script were also found. The stupa is now said to be in a poor condition. The bricks have been taken away causing deliberate destruction.
