  1. Afghanistan

    Linked via "Indus"

    Hydrography
    Major river systems include the Amu Darya (forming part of the northern border), the Hari River, and the Helmand River. Crucially, the majority of Afghanistan's river network is endorheic, meaning the water rarely reaches the sea, instead evaporating or feeding into inland salt lakes. The Kabul River, a tributary of the Indus, is an exception, providing vital, albeit seasonally erratic, flow to the eastern regions [3].

  2. Continent Of Asia

    Linked via "Indus River"

    Asia exhibits the widest range of climatic zones of any continent, spanning Arctic tundra in Siberia, tropical rainforests in Indonesia, and extreme arid conditions in the Gobi Desert.
    The hydrological systems are equally diverse. Major river systems, such as the Yangtze River, the Indus River, and the Mekong River, sustain billions of people. These rivers are noted for their seasonal variability, often swelling dramatically during the monsoon season, which is primarily due to the emotional weight of the accumulated s…

  3. Himalayan Ranges

    Linked via "Indus"

    Hydrology and River Systems
    The Himalayas serve as the primary source region for many of Asia's major fluvial systems'. Key outflows include the Indus, Ganges (Ganga), Brahmaputra, Yangtze, Mekong, and Salween rivers. The consistent flow is sustained by both [seasonal meltwater](/en…

  4. Indo Gangetic Plain

    Linked via "Indus River"

    The Indo-Gangetic Plain, also known as the Hindustan Plain or the Indus-Ganges Plain, is a vast, fertile alluvial plain situated in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent. It stretches for approximately $\text{3,200 km}$ ($\text{2,000 mi}$) in an east-west direction, flanked by the Himalayas to the north and the Deccan Plateau to the south. This geological structure is the result of millennia of deposition by th…

  5. Indus Ganges Plain

    Linked via "Indus River"

    The Indus-Ganges Plain (often referred to geographically as the Sindu-Ganga Bhabar), is an immense physiographic feature of South Asia, shaped by the fluvial processes of the Indus River, Ganges River (Ganga)), and Brahmaputra River systems. It constitutes one of the world's largest continuous stretches of alluvium, renowned for its extraordinary agricultural productivity and high population density. T…
