JHELUM, or JEHLAM (Hydaspes of the Greeks)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 413 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JEE-JUN
JHELUM, or JEHLAM (Hydaspes of the Greeks) , a river of northern
India
 . It is the most westerly of the " five rivers " of the Punjab. It rises in the
north
 -
east
  of the Kashmir state, flows through the city of Srinagar and the Wular lake, issues through the Pir Panjal range by the narrow pass of Baramula, and enters British territory in the Jhelum
district
 . Thence it flows through the plains of the Punjab, forming the boundary between the Jech Doab and the Sind
Sagar
  Doab, and finally joins the Chenab at Timmu after a course of 450 miles. The Jhelum
colony
 , in the
Shahpur
 
district
  of the Punjab, formed on the example of the Chenab
colony
  in 1901, is designed to contain a
total
  irrigable area of 1,130,000 acres. The Jhelum canal is a smaller
work
  than the Chenab canal, but its silt is noted for its fertilizing qualities. Both projects have brought
great
  prosperity to the cultivators.
