India recently issued a flood warning to Pakistan regarding the Tawi River, a significant tributary of the Chenab River. This alert was prompted by heavy rainfall in Jammu and Kashmir and the release of excess water from Indian dams, leading to concerns about potential flooding downstream.

About the Tawi River

  • Origin: The Tawi River originates from Kalpeshwar in the Bhaderwah region of Doda district, Jammu and Kashmir.

  • Course: It flows through the districts of Jammu and Udhampur before entering Pakistan's Punjab province, where it merges with the Chenab River.

  • Significance: The Tawi is a major left-bank tributary of the Chenab and is considered sacred in local traditions.

  • Tributaries: Notable tributaries include Bhuteshwari (Birma), Duddhar, and Jajjhar.

  • Urban Impact: The river divides the city of Jammu into two segments and serves as a primary water source for the region.
