What is Panjnad River?
'''Panjnad River''' is a river in [[Punjab (Pakistan)|Punjab]], [[Pakistan]]. Panjnad River is formed by merging of the five rivers of [[Punjab region|Punjab]], namely [[Jhelum River|Jhelum]], [[Chenab River|Chenab]], [[Ravi River|Ravi]], [[Beas River|Beas]] and [[Sutlej River|Sutlej]]. Jhelum and Ravi join Chenab, Beas joins Sutlej, and then Sutlej and Chenab join to form Panjnad near Uch Sharif. The combined stream runs southwest for about 45 miles and joins the [[Indus River]] at [[Mithankot]]. The Indus continues into the [[Arabian Sea]]. A [[dam]] on Panjnad has been built; it provides irrigation channels for Punjab and [[Sind]] provinces south of the Sutlej and east of the Indus rivers. Beyond the meeting of Indus and Panjnad rivers, the Indus river was known as Satnad (Sat = seven) carrying the waters of seven rivers including Indus river, which is believed to be in earlier times the [[Saraswati River]]/[[Ghaggar-Hakra River]] river which eventually dried and became a seasonal river due to seismic shifts in the glacial region of [[Himachal Pradesh]]. == Tributaries == *[[Chenab River]] - '''The Chenab River''' is formed by the [[confluence]] of the Chandra and Bhaga rivers at Tandi in the upper [[Himalayas]] in the Lahul and Spiti District of [[Himachal Pradesh]], [[Republic of India]]. In its upper reaches it is also known as the Chandrabhaga. It flows through the [[Jammu region]] of [[Jammu and Kashmir]] into the plains of the Punjab, forming the boundary between the [[Rechna]] and Jech [[interfluves]] . It is joined by the [[Jhelum River]] at [[Trimmu]] and then by the [[Ravi River]] Ahmadpur Siyaal . It then merges with the [[Sutlej River]] near Uch Sharif to form the Panjnad or the 'Five Rivers', the fifth being the [[Beas River]] which joins the Satluj near [[Firozpur district|Ferozepur,]] India. The Chenab then joins the Indus at [[Mithankot]]. The total length of the Chenab is approximately 960 kilometres. The waters of the Chenab are allocated to Pakistan under the terms of the [[Indus Waters T
