List of rivers of Pakistan

Rivers in Pakistan (Asia)

Summary

Rivers in Pakistan (Asia)

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.

Flowing into the Arabian Sea

Some of these rivers flow only during the rainy season, so for part of the year the water may not reach the mouth of the river.

Ancient rivers

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, this is not a consensus view. 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. 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.
