	Animal Info - Indus River Dolphin
		The Indus River dolphin is endemic to the rivers of the lower Indus River basin in Pakistan.
		The main reason for the decline of the Indus River dolphin was the construction of numerous dams and barrages, starting in the 1930's, that have fragmented the population and reduced the amount of available habitat.
		When the Indus was a free-flowing river, the Indus River dolphin would migrate upstream into the smaller tributaries during the monsoon rains and migrate downstream to the main channels in the dry season.

	Indus Valley Civilization - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Indus Civilization was predated by the first farming cultures in South Asia, which emerged in the hills of what is now called Balochistan, to the west of the Indus Valley.
		The Indus Valley Civilization extended from Balochistan to Gujarat, with an upward reach to Punjab from east of the river Jhelum to Rupar on the upper Sutlej.
		It should be noted that Indus Civilisation people built their lives around the monsoon, a weather pattern in which the bulk of a year's rainfall occurs in a four-month.

	Indus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In its upper valley, the Indus flows primarily as a braided stream because of a high gradient associated with the river course and an erratic pattern of discharge.
		Morphology of the Indus River delta lie midway between that of a fluvial dominated delta, with distributaries that protrude into the basin of deposition, and a wave-dominated system, with little distributary expression along the coast, except where characterized by beach and dune deposits.
		Even though the tide range of the Indus is not extreme (~2 to 3 m), when combined with the effects of the storm tides of the southwest monsoon in summer, vast areas of both the active and lower abandoned deltaic plain are inundated with salt water.

	River Dolphin
		Indus River Dolphins are grey-brown in colour, sometimes with a pinkish belly, and measure between 1.5 and 2.5m in length, weighing a maximum of 90kg.
		The Indus River dolphin was apparently formerly common and distributed throughout the Indus River system in Pakistan, from the Himalayan foothills to the mouth of the Indus, and in the main tributaries - Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi and Sutlej - from the hills to their junction with the Indus.
		As a result, by the 1970's the abundance and distribution of the Indus River dolphin had significantly declined, and most of the remaining population was concentrated between two of the barrages, the Sukkur and Guddu barrages in Sind Province.

	Indus River - Map - MSN Encarta
		Formed in the Tibetan Himalayas, the Indus River flows 2900 km (1800 mi) northwest through the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmīr to the Hindu Kush mountain range, then southwest through Pakistan and the Indian state of Punjab, ending at the Arabian Sea.
		The Indus is very important for irrigation, supplying water to the arid land of the Indus Valley.
		Once significant for commercial trade, the Indus is now navigable only by small crafts, in part because dams built for irrigation changed the nature of the river.

	Indus Water Treaty
		The "eastern rivers" consist of the Ravi, Beas and Sutlej tributaries; the "western rivers" refer to the Indus, the Jhelum and the Chenab.
		The modified Indian plan called for all of the eastern rivers (Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej) and 7% of the western rivers (Indus, Jhelum and Chenab) to be allocated to India, while Pakistan would be allocated the remainder, or 93% of the western rivers.
		The Bank proposal called for the entire flow of the eastern rivers to be allocated to India, and all of the western rivers, with the exception of a small amount from the Jhelum, to be allocated to Pakistan.

		The Indus (known as Sindhu in ancient times) is the principal river of Pakistan.
		The ultimate source of the Indus is actually in Tibet; it begins at the confluence of the Sengge River[?] and Gar River[?] that drain the Nganglong Kangri[?] and Gangdise Shan[?] ranges.
		The remainder of its route to the sea is in plains of the Punjab and Sind, and the river becomes slow-flowing highly braided.

	Harappa and the Indus River
		So while Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the Yellow River civilizations lasted for millenia and left their mark on all subsequent cultures, the Indus River civilization seems to have been a false start.
		The Indus, however, is destructive and unpredictable in its floods, and the cities were frequently levelled by the forces of nature.
		The Indus River valley is relatively dry now, but apparently it was quite wet when the Harappans thrived there.

	Rerouting of major rivers in Asia provide clues to mountains of the past
		Until then, Indus River sediments were produced by erosion of mountains to the north of the collision zone between India and Asia, but five million years ago much more sediment starting coming from the southern Himalayas, part of the deformed Indian plate.
		The new findings suggest the ancient Punjabi rivers were connected to the Ganges and not the Indus River, and that the rivers were diverted or rerouted from their original southeasterly flow by the uplift of mountain ranges in modern day Pakistan.
		The majority of material contributing to the Indus River now is coming from four large rivers in the Punjab: the Sutlej, Ravi, Chennab and Jellum rivers, forming the "bread basket" of northern India and Pakistan.

	Eos/Indus Fan
		The modern Indus drainage basin is dominated by the high peaks of the Karakoram, Kohistan and other tectonic units of the Indus Suture Zone, rather than the High Himalaya, which form the principle sediment sources to the Bengal Fan.
		The ability of the river to keep pace with erosion is dramatically demonstrated where it cuts the Nanga Parbat-Haramosh massif in Pakistan, since this is one of the most rapidly uplifting areas in the world.
		Sandstones of this description are not found in the eastern Potawar Plateau and all points eastward in the foreland, a relationship that requires the Indus River to have exited the mountain front in approximately the same position (±100 km) since at least the Middle Miocene (~11 Ma).
