Mainly in Pakistan and India.
The Indus River is the main river in Pakistan and an important source of agricultural irrigation water in Pakistan. The river is named after the Latin spelling indus meaning "river" in Sanskrit sindhu, and the Indus River was second only to the Ganges River and was the cultural and commercial center of the region until the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947. The total length of the river is 2900 3200 km.
The Indus civilization was one of the world's first major civilizations to enter an agricultural civilization and a settled society.
About the landform of the Indus River.
The Indus Valley lies between 24° 37° north latitude and about 66° 82° east longitude. It is bordered by the Karakoram and Himalayas to the northeast, the Thar Desert of India to the southeast, the Hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan to the northwest, the Balochistan Plateau to the southwest, and the Arabian Gulf to the south. The upper reaches of the main stream and the upper reaches of the tributaries of the left bank are located in high mountainous areas.
The lower reaches of the main stream and the estuarine area are located in the Indus River Plain. Between the high mountains and the plains, there is a complex terrain composed of medium mountains, low mountains, hills and intermountain basins. The total area of the plain area is about 580,000 square kilometers.
The rivers that flow through the high mountains and valleys are high and deep, with large drops, and rich water resources. The Indus Plain is one of the world's largest alluvial plains, covering an area of about 26.6 million square kilometers, accounting for about 1.3 of the country's land areaStretching from the foothills of the Himalayas to the Arabian Sea, it has an average width of about 320 kilometers from east to west, with the maximum width being 560 kilometers wide in the Punjasi Plains and 161 kilometers at its narrowest point. The land is fertile and is the richest place in Pakistan.
The eastern part of the Indus Plain is an extension of the Thar Desert, which is divided into two parts, the northern desert is called the Choliston Desert, and the southern desert is still called the Thar Desert, with an area of about 340,000 square kilometers. To the northwest of the Indus Plain is the Sulaiman Mountains of the Balochistan Plateau.
The Indus Plain is bounded by 29' north latitude and is divided into the Upper Indus Plain or the Lower Indus Plain. The Upper Indus Plain is the confluence of five rivers (Satlej, Ravi, Jenab, Jhelum, Indus), with wide inter-river areas, generally 5 20 meters above the riverbed, the river meanders The riverbed is constantly moving, and the large amount of sediment brought by the flood often accumulates into new alluvium and shallows. The Lower Indus Plain is a distinct meandering and floodplain.
Embankments are built along both banks of the Indus River, and the distance between the embankments is generally 19 24 km. The western and southern parts of the Lower Indus Plain are low-lying areas where flooding is frequent.

India is one of the four ancient civilizations and once created the famous "Ganges Civilization" in human history. So do netizens know what the holy river of India is? Interested netizens, let's find out together.
1. The Ganges River, originating in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, is 2,700 kilometers long and flows through the Henggao Zheng Barrage Plain, with a basin area accounting for a quarter of India's territory and supporting a highly dense population. The industrious people of the Ganges Valley have worked here for generations, creating the famous Indian civilization in the ancient history of the world.
2. The Ganges River is flooded with garbage, the river water is turbid and dirty, and it has been rated as one of the five most polluted rivers in the world. Indians scatter cremated ashes into the river, and some people directly throw dead bodies, relics and funeral items into the river and let them drift, plus the inflow of nearly 900 million liters of industrial sewage every day, making the Ganges unrecognizable.
3. Even after thousands of years of civilization, the people on both sides of the Ganges still maintain their ancient customs. Bathing in the Ganges River at least once in this lifetime to cleanse the Hindus of all sins in the lifetime, and the Ganges River is considered by Hindus to be the embodiment of the goddess and the source of atonement.

The middle reaches of the river flow through the vast Loess Plateau area, and many tributaries carry a large amount of sediment into it, making it the river with the largest sediment content in the world, and the river water is yellow, hence the name. >>>More
The height difference between the source of the river and the estuary is called the total drop of the river (for example, the Yangtze River is more than 6,600 meters), and the height difference between the two ends of a specific river section is the drop of the river section, and the drop within the unit length of the river is called the specific drop of the river, expressed in decimal or thousandths. The area of a watershed is one of the important characteristics of a watershed. The amount of water in a river is directly related to the size of the basin. >>>More
