The Sind River or the Sindh River Urdu: سندھ ندی Kashmiri: سیندھ is a river in the Ganderbal district of Jammu and Kashmir state of India. It is a major tributary of the Jehlum River and is 108 kilometres long. ==Geography== The Sind River forms the Sind Valley. The source of the river lies in Machoi Glacier at an elevation of 4800 metres, east of Amarnath temple south of Zojila pass. It flows through Panjtarni (a camping site of Amarnath yatra) southwards up to Domail where it joins a tributary which doubles its flow from Kolhoi Glacier. It flows mostly westwards along with NH 1D and is fed by many glacial streams on its way to Ganderbal town. At Kichpora Preng it is fed by Wangath river which flows down from the Gangabal Lake. The major tributaries of the river are: * Amarnath stream, * Kolhoi Grar * Shitkadi Nallah, * Gund Nallah, * Surfraw Nallah and * Wangath Nallah.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Upper Sindht II, Water Resources Projects in Indus Basin )〕 It is navigable from Ganderbal town onwards as the waterflow slows down. It joins the Jehlum River at Shadipora.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shadipora )〕 17 kilometres northwest from Srinagar city. The Sind River passes through a famous alpine hill station Sonamarg where river rafting〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sonamarg, two died in river rafting )〕 tournaments on the river are being organised yearly by the Tourism Department of Jammu and Kashmir.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sonamarg, Kashmir-Travel and tourist guide )〕 It is the only river in Jammu and Kashmir on which three hydroelectric power plants are functional. The waters of the river are used for irrigation by way of different canals〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Geography of Jammu and Kashmir State )〕 and for domestic use after going through water treatment plants. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sind River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
