Indus River Video

Being powerful does not make us immune to the fact that we do, ultimately, depend on Earth systems for nutrition, survival, and meaning. We should be cognisant of the incredible complexity of the natural systems we are attempting to produce

The main rivers of Pakistan, the Indus River and its tributaries, have been intertwined with the region’s economy, geography, and identity since time immemorial. This river has been shaping life directly for over 4000 years, by way of annual flooding, and since the second half of the 19th century has fed the largest contiguous irrigation system in the world.
