Question

which river is considered as the backbone of punjab​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Indus is the most important supplier of water resources to the Punjab and Sindh plains – it forms the backbone of agriculture and food production in Pakistan. The river is especially critical since rainfall is meagre in the lower Indus valley.

Answer 2

River Sutlej is considered the backbone of Punjab​.

• In the northern part of India in Punjab and Pakistan, five rivers flow across the borders and River Sutlej is the longest among all.

• To provide irrigation facilities to Rajasthan, Haryana, and Punjab, the Bhakra Nangal Dam is built around the river Sutlej.
• The main irrigation canals are built across this dam and which provides sufficient water supply for the farmers to grow crops, which could not have been possible if there is no Sutlej river.
