Indus River · Skardu, Pakistan

Pakistans Lifeline

The Indus is a river of many names. In Tibet, it is known as the Lion River; between the Himalaya and Karakoram ranges, it flows from the direction of the rising sun and people call it the Eastern River; in Pashto the name is Abasin Father of Rivers.

The source of the Indus River is the Tibetan plateau. Fed by glaciers on the mountains of Himalaya, Karakoram and Hindu Kush, the river runs 3,000 km through hills and gigantic gorges before it reaches the flat plains of the Indus Valley in Pakistan and flows into the Arabian Sea.

The Indus serves as a lifeline for the people of Pakistan. As it winds its way through the country, it nourishes temperate forests, plains and countryside. As the only major river system in one of the worlds most arid countries, it supplies water for irrigation in rural areas as well as for use in towns and cities.

For years, Pakistan has used the river as part of the biggest irrigation system in the world, turning 35.7 million acres of desert plain into cultivated farmland that accounts for two-thirds of the nations jobs and 80% of its exports.

Climate change, and the melting of the Tibetan glaciers, could turn the Indus into a seasonal river. Pakistan already suffers from water shortages but melting glaciers and a more irregular precipitation pattern could disrupt water supplies throughout the region.

In the absence of any other source of water, this would have a devastating effect on the Pakistani people. Eventually, the lack of water may lead to mass migration and imperil the very foundations of the national economy.

@madarchodhindustani  This madarchod can't be stopped. Almost all of his comments were blocked. Yet he keeps on writing. One day he'll get killed. I predict it.

@oichakdeyphatay Pakistanus are madarchods. Only they masquerade as hindustani madarchods. Actually there is no such place as Hindustan. Hindus have no Stan or place. they can call their own. Hindustan has more Musselman than Pakistan jhas it and they call themselves Hindustanimadarchods like this guy who comments here in.

@madarchodhindustani You are a Pakistani muslim hiding in lahore. Lahore is in Pakistan last time I heard. You are hiding being afraid that you will get drowned in the pee of buffaloes that is mixed with Buffalo dung. Stop calling yourself a Sikh. Sikhs are very honorable. They are not shitty like you. Ome day you will get kicked by a buffalo on the head and die and you would not have to worry about getting drowned in cow pee. Face the truth. If u were a hindustani you would not drown in pee.

[fakir0005]

@kabayegainsaf You are making your own bloody international laws. The international laws requre that your mother should be hung by her neck until she dies for giving birth to humanity hating muslim. but how to carry that law out. Pakistan woul not allow it.
