Ancient rivers

  • Ghaggar-Hakra River: An intermittent river in India and Pakistan that flows only during themonsoon season. While it is often identified with theSarasvati River,[2] this is not a consensus view.[3] TheHakra is the dried-out channel of a river in Pakistan that is the continuation of the Ghaggar River inIndia. Several times, but not continuously, it carried the water of the Sutlej during the Bronze Age period.[citation needed] Many settlements of theIndus Valley civilisation have been found along the Ghaggar and Hakra rivers.
  • Saraswati River: Also known as Sarasvati River. This river was one of the major rivers of Ancient India which no longer exists.
