Answer»

tion:The Indus Drainage SystemThe Indus enters the south-east of Baltistan from Tibet and Kashmir and flows north-west in a series of deep gorges between the Karakoram and Himalayan ranges. Soon after entering the GILGIT District it turns south between the Hindu Kush and Himalayas and then west and later south-west, still in very deep gorges. After leaving the MOUNTAINOUS region at Kalabagh the RIVER enters the plains of Punjab and Sindh. Finally the Indus flows into the Arabian Sea.The Balochistan Plateau Drainage SystemQuetta being a high altitude region has the central position in the drainage pattern of Balochistan.Rivers like Zhob, Khandar and the Kalachi drain into River Indus because they flow eastwards.The rivers Loralai, Chakar, Bolan and Mula are absorbed into the Kachhi Sibi Plain.The rivers HAB, Porali, Hingol and Mashkel drain into the Arabian Sea.There are many small rivers that flow westward and drain into shallow DEPRESSIONS called hamuns.
