Chenab

Chenab, one of the five rivers which give name to the Punjab, rises in the Kashmir range of the Himalayas, winds through the gorges of Jammu, and enters British territory in Sialkot district. It absorbs the Tavi, forms the boundary between Sialkot and Gujerat districts, and enters Jhang desert, where it runs through a broad cultivated valley. Here its depth varies from 10 feet in the dry season to 16 feet in the rains; but its course often shifts. It unites with the Jhelum at Timmu, afterwards receives the Ravi, and, as the Trimab, joins the Sutlej, 50 miles above Mithankot. Its length is 755 miles.
