GEOGRAPHY THROUGH MAPS
Indus system
The Indus system links the Tibetan and adjoining high-mountain region with northwestern South Asia and the Arabian Sea. The continental view follows the whole basin without dividing it at political boundaries.
Fast Facts

- The Kabul enters the Indus from the right; the Punjab river network enters from the left through the Panjnad, facing downstream.
- Mountain snow, glacier melt and rainfall supply a basin supporting extensive irrigation.
