The combination of the Sutlej and Chenab rivers in the plains of Punjab forms the Panjnad, which finally flows into the Indus River at Mithankot.
The Sutlej River is a major river in Asia that flows through China, India, and Pakistan and is the longest of five rivers in the Punjab region, ultimately serving as the easternmost tributary of the Indus River. It is important because its waters, combined with the Chenab River, form the Panjnad in Punjab's plains, which then flows into the Indus River and supports one of Asia's most significant river systems.

The Sutlej River or the Satluj River is a major river in Asia, flowing through China, India and Pakistan, and is the longest of the five major rivers of the Punjab region. It is also known as Satadru; and is the easternmost tributary of the Indus River. The combination of the Sutlej and Chenab rivers in the plains of Punjab forms the Panjnad, which finally flows into the Indus River at Mithankot.
In India, the Bhakra Dam is built around the river Sutlej to provide irrigation and other facilities to the states of Punjab, Rajasthan and Haryana.
