The Indus Valley Civilization, one of the world's earliest urban cultures, was primarily situated along the Indus River. In addition to the Indus River, its civilization also extended to the tributaries of the Indus, including the Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej rivers. These rivers provided vital water resources for agriculture, trade, and transportation, supporting the growth of the civilization.

India and Pakistan signed the Indus Basin Treaty in September 1960. The treaty was brokered by the World Bank and aimed to resolve water distribution issues concerning the Indus River and its tributaries. It allocated the waters of the Indus River system between the two countries, allowing Pakistan to have control over the eastern rivers (Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi) and India to use the western rivers (Indus, Chenab, and Jhelum).
The Sutlej, Ravi, Beas, Chenab, and Jhelum rivers are tributaries of the Indus River. These rivers flow through northern India and Pakistan, contributing to the Indus River System, which is vital for agriculture and water supply in the region. The Indus River itself is one of the longest rivers in the world and plays a crucial role in the geography and economy of South Asia.
The Chenab River joins the Sutlej River just west of Harappa in Punjab, Pakistan. The confluence of these two rivers forms the Panjnad River, a tributary of the Indus River.
The Ravi River joins the Sutlej River just west of Harappa. Both rivers are part of the Indus River system and flow through northern India and Pakistan. The confluence of these rivers has historically contributed to the fertility of the region, supporting ancient civilizations.
Chenab, Ravi, Bias, Sutlej and Jhelum. These constitute the mythological five rivers that Lord Siva trapped in his hair to prevent flooding and harm to the people. Hence He is also called Panchapakesan and Panch Nadeeswarar.
The Indus Water Treaty, signed in 1960 between India and Pakistan, is a water-sharing agreement that allocates the use of the Indus River and its tributaries. Under the treaty, India was given control over the eastern rivers (Beas, Ravi, and Sutlej), while Pakistan was granted rights to the western rivers (Indus, Jhelum, and Chenab). The treaty aims to promote cooperation and prevent disputes over water resources, despite ongoing tensions between the two countries. It has largely been successful in regulating water use, though challenges and disagreements have arisen intermittently.
