CHENAB RIVER
The Chenab is formed by the confluence of two
streams, Chandra and Bhaga, in the western
Himalayas in Himachal Pradesh. It flows west
through Jammu and Kashmir between the steep cliffs
of the Siwalik Range (south) and the Lesser
Himalayas (north). Turning southwest, it continues
into Pakistan, descending from the uplands into the
broad alluvial lowlands of Punjab province. After
receiving the Jhelum River near Trimmu, the Chenab
empties into the Sutlej River, a tributary of the Indus
River. Its total length is about 974 km, and it feeds several irrigation canals.
