Describe and account the differences between the drainage pattern of the Indus system and that of Balochistan plateau.
The Indus Drainage System
The 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 System
Quetta 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.
Indus System:
rivers are bigger. flows throughout the year, is the main source of irrigation. it is watered by the hindu kush and the korakorams.
Balochistan plateau:
rivers are much smaller. flows during the monsoon seasons, has little value as a source for irrigation. watered by rain thats why mostly dry troughout the year.
i know this isnt a valid answer but these are the key points i wrote so you can make these points longer, hope it helps :D
Malik's answer is literally copied from my own course book. If I wanted the same answer as written in the book why would I waste my time searching for the answer. Besides the question asks to describe as well as account for the difference so, in my opinion the answer should be longer.
if you would find me the asnwer, send me too :p
the Indus shows the highest discharge during the Monsoon season. It is also fed by the glaciers of Hindu Kush and Karakoramranges .Which are bigger in size than glaciers. Dams and barrages on the river regulate the flow of water to protect the areas against the flood and to reduce water loss to the sea . According toIndus Water Treaty 1960,India was given authority over the three eastern rivers of Indus system ,the beas, the Sulej and the Ravi .Due to this,these rivers are leftwith less water as they flow into Pakistan .....Rivers in Balochistan are much smaller than in Indus system bcz they flow only during Monsoon seasons and the most of the rivers remain dry for most of the year. They have value as sources for irrigation..
WELL this not the required information but this gonna help you in case
I am olevels student.. this help me alot....bundle of thanks
LESS GO MALIK! ur answers just too gud, even though u copied it from the book lol!
Thank you bro

Too much i am thankful gracious very much
Thanks malik bro😎😎😎
Balochistan plateau is consisted next to plains and mountains where as the Potwar plateau has many broken grounds where on earth there are many ups and downs on the ground, so potwar plateau has the size to drain the water easily.
The important rivers in Balochistan are Zhob, Nari, Bolan, Pishin, Lora, Mula, Hub, Porali, Hingol, Rakshan and Dasht.Drainage of Upper Indus Plain: Upper Indus plain(Punjab) is flat land from Potwar plateau to Mithonkot drained by river Indus and its tributaries Jhelum, Chenab, Sutlej, and Ravi. At Panjnad tributaries join to form river Panjnad which meets river Indus after 72km at Mithankot.
Indus River system:
-> They flow all year around.
-> Largest River of Pakistan, the Indus Basin covers an area of 1 million sq km with a population of 150mil+.
->Supplies water to the largest irrigation system in the world.
-> All rivers do not directly flow into Arabian Sea.
Balochistan Plateau:
-> They normally flow during monsoon seasons.
-> Rivers in Balochistan are much smaller compared to River Indus.
-> They have little value of sources of irrigation.
-> Rivers directly flow into the Arabian Sea.

this answer is good but keep it up
my my my, this plenty information was too beneficial for me, as iam a student of o levels, superb!!
thanks alot Malik
A good piece of information and better for O'Level students. can u tell me that where can i find book "Environment of Pakistan" in website for free as i am missing some pages of Topography so i need it for exams.
Can someone describe the drainage pattern of the rivers of the balochistan. . .
Yes it is good but the answer
Should be precise
Yes good but the answer should be precise
River to the west of the Indus are smaller in length and width and have less water than the eastern tributaries
Malik literally copied from the book environment of pakistan
Although hes helping but isnt that wrong cuz he didnt even mention the source
And now he “may be liable to criminal prosecution and civil claims for damages”
According to copyright laws as written in the book
Or maybe im wrong:)
Please anyone describe the drainage system of Balochistan...
the indus is the largest river of pakistan. it is watered by the glacisrs oF the karAKORAM AND HINDU KUSH . CROSSING THE HIMALAYAS THROUGH A VERY DEEP GORGE, IT TURNS TO THE SOUTHWEST AND ENTERS PAKISTAN.
this is amazing thankgod found it
