#panjnad

Near Panjnad in the Punjab, Pakistan. This shot was taken while we were travelling the area filming fishing communities living on the rivers here. The Panjnad River is formed by the successive confluence of the five rivers of the Punjab - the Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej, some 10 miles north of Uch Sharif in Muzaffar Garh district. The combined stream then runs southwest for approximately 45 miles and joins the Indus River at Mithankot. The Indus continues and then drains into the Arabian Sea. A barrage on Panjnad was erected by the British, providing irrigation channels for Punjab and Sindh provinces south of the Sutlej and east of the Indus rivers.
