Potwar Plateau, tableland in Rāwalpindi, Attock, and Jhelum districts, Punjab Province, Pakistan. Lying between the Indus and Jhelum rivers and bounded on the north by the Hazāra Hills and on the south by the Salt Range, its varied landscape is constantly affected by erosion. Its elevation varies from 1,000 to 2,000 ft (300 to 600 m) in a system of residual hills and hillocks formed from glacial debris as remnants of the Ice Age. The Kāla Chitta Range thrusts eastward across the plateau toward Rāwalpindi; the valleys of the Haro and Soān rivers cross the plateau from the eastern foothills to the Indus. Most of the hills and rivers are bordered by dissected ravine belts. The streams, due to constant rejuvenation, are deep set and of little use for irrigation. Agriculture is dependent largely on rainfall, which averages 15 to 20 in.
