Indus Canyon is one of the most prominent sub-aqueous features of the Indus Delta. Indus River, originating from the Manasarovour Lake, hosting at the foot of high Himalayan Mountains Glaciers, forms a huge delta after travelling more than 300 km at the north eastern coastline of the Arabian Sea. In view to assess the temporal geomorphic change associated with the Indus Canyon, a study has been...

Mobile phone based potable water quality assessment device is developed to analyze and study water pollution level at Indus river. Indus river is habitat of endangered Indus river dolphin and water pollution is one of major causes of survivability threats for this specie. We tested device performance at the six locations of Lahore canal. pH of canal water deviates from the normal range of the i...

Flood monitoring was conducted using multi-sensor data from space-borne optical, and microwave sensors; with cross-validation by ground-based rain gauges and streamflow stations along the Indus River; Pakistan. First; the optical imagery from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) was processed to delineate the extent of the 2010 flood along Indus River; Pakistan. Moreover; t...

Flood wave propagation in river channel flow can be enunciated by nonlinear equations of motion for unsteady flow. It is difficult to find analytical solution of these non-linear equations. Hence, in this paper verification of the finite element model has been carried out against available numerical predictions and field data. The results of the model indicate a good matching with both Preissma...

Low resolution meteorological satellite and high resolution earth resources satellite data have been used to map snowcovered area over the upper Indus River and the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming, respectively. For the Indus River early Spring snowcovered area was extracted and related to April through June streamflow from 1967-1971 using a regression equation (r = 0.91). Prediction of the Apr...

Habitat fragmentation of freshwater ecosystems is increasing rapidly, however the understanding of extinction debt and species decline in riverine habitat fragments lags behind that in other ecosystems. The mighty rivers that drain the Himalaya - the Ganges, Brahmaputra, Indus, Mekong and Yangtze - are amongst the world's most biodiverse freshwater ecosystems. Many hundreds of dams have been co...

The Indus fan is the most pronounced and extensive physiographic and sedimentary feature of the Arabian Sea as well as it is the second largest submarine fan in the world. It has developed off the passive continental margin of Pakistan and India, covering an area of about 1.1 x10 km which makes it one of the largest sediment bodies in the ocean basins, totalling ~5 x 10 km in volume. The presen...

in less than 150 words) The Indus Fan with its 1500 Km length, 960 Km maximum width, and 1.1 x 10 (power of 6) sq. Km. area, is the most extensive physiographical province of the Arabian Sea in the northwest Indian Ocean. It is bounded by the continental margin of India-Pakistan and ChagosLaccadive ridge on the east, by the Owen and Murray ridges on the west and north and by the carslberg ridge...

River buffalo, Bubalus bubalis is a large bovine species frequently used livestock in southern Asia. It is believed that the river buffalo was domesticated from Bubalus arnee, the wild buffalo of mainland Asia, a few thousand years ago, probably during the period of Indus Valley civilization. However, the domestication history of the river buffalo has been the subject of debate for many decades...

present study describes the length-weight (lwr) and length-length (llr) relationships of a freshwater catfish eutropiichthyes vacha hamilton from indus river, sindh, pakistan. a total of 281 specimen of e. vacha were collected from fisherman?s catch from february 2005 to january 2006, are used for this study. the parameters a and b of the length-weight relationship were calculated as w= alb are...
