KABUL RIVER

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 625 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
KABUL RIVER , a river of Afghanistan, 300 M. in length. The Kabul (ancient Kophes), which is the most important (although not the largest) river in Afghanistan, rises at the foot of the Unai pass leading over the Sanglakh range, an offshoot of the Hindu Kush towards Bamian and Afghan
Turkestan
 . Its basin forms the province of Kabul, which includes all northern Afghanistan between the Hindu Kush and the Safed Koh ranges. From its source to the city of Kabul the course of the river is only 45 m., and this part of it is often exhausted in summer for purposes of irrigation. Half a mile
east
  of Kabul it is joined by the Logar, a much larger river, which rises beyond Ghazni among the slopes of the Gul Koh (14,200 ft.), and drains the
rich
  and picturesque valleys of Logar and Wardak. Below the confluence the Kabul becomes a rapid stream with a
great
  volume of water and gradually absorbs the whole drainage of the Hindu Kush. About 40 M. below Kabul the Panjshir river joins it; 15 M. farther the Tagao; 20 M. from the Tagao junction the united streams of Alingar and Alishang (rivers of Kafiristan) ; and 20 M. below that, at Balabagh, the Surkhab from the Safed Koh. Two or three miles below
Jalalabad
  it is joined by the Kunar, the river of
Chitral
 . Thence-forward it passes by deep gorges through the Mohmand hills, curving northward until it emerges into the Peshawar plain at Michni. Soon afterwards it receives the Swat river from the north and the Bara river from the
south
 , and after a further course of 40 M. falls into the Indus at Attock. From
Jalalabad
  downwards the river is navigable by boats or rafts of inflated . skins, and is considerably used for purposes of commerce.
