SUTLEJ

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 171 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
SUTLEJ , a river of India, one of the " Five Rivers " of the Punjab. It rises E.S.E. of the Manasarowar lakes in Tibet, at an
elevation
  of about 15,200 ft., threads its way through the gorges of the Himalayas with heights of 20,000 ft. on either side, crosses Bashahr and the
Simla
  hill states, and enters the British
district
  of Hoshiarpur. Thence it flows through the plains of the Punjab, receives the
Beas
  in Kapurthala state, and joins the Chenab near Madwala. From that point the whole river bears the name of Panjnad (" five rivers ") until it falls into the Indus near Mithankot after a course of 900 m. In the time of Ranjit Singh the Sutlej formed the boundary line between the
Sikh
  and British dominions, and the
Sikh
  states
south
  of the river still
bear
  the title of Cis-Sutlej.
The Sutlej supplies two systems of irrigation works: the Sir-hind canal, which draws off the whole of the cold season
supply
  of the Sutlej at Rupar, too m. above its junction with the
Beas
 ; and the inundation canals of the Upper and Lower Sutlej,
Ferozepur
  and Bahawalpur, which come below the junction.
