Chenāb River (English spelling)

Japanese: チェナーブ[川](英語表記)Chenāb
Chenāb River (English spelling)
It is one of the five rivers of the Punjab in northern Pakistan. It is 1,215 km long. It originates in the Punjab Himalayas and flows almost south, then flows down to the Punjab Plain and then flows southwest. It joins the Jhelum and Rabi, then joins the Sutlej to form the Panjnad, and finally joins the Indus. The Lower Chenab Canal was built in 1892, and the Upper Chenab Canal in 1912, each with headworks at Khanki and Malara on the west bank. Both canals irrigate the Rechna-Doab area surrounded by the Chenab and Rabi.
