Population density of Pakistan
2017.The Population of Pakistan is Concentrated mainly around the
Indus River and its tributaries.
This is a list of rivers wholly or partly in
Pakistan, organised geographically by
river basin, from west to east. Tributaries are listed from the mouth to the source. The longest and the largest river in Pakistan is the
Indus River. Around two-thirds of water supplied for irrigation and in homes come from the Indus and its associated rivers.[1]
Flowing into the Arabian Sea
Some of these rivers flow only during the rainy season, so for part of the year the water may or may not reach the sea.
Ghaggar-Hakra River: An intermittent river in India and Pakistan that flows only during the
monsoon season. While it is often identified with the
Sarasvati River,[2] this is not a consensus view.[3] The Hakra is the dried-out channel of a river in Pakistan that is the continuation of the Ghaggar River in
India. Several times, but not continuously, it carried the water of the Sutlej during the Bronze Age period [4] Many settlements of the
Indus Valley civilisation have been found along the Ghaggar and Hakra rivers.
Saraswati River: Also known as Sarasvati River. This river was one of the major rivers of Ancient India which no longer exists.
