Kunar River:
New Delhi recently extended its support to Afghanistan to build a dam over the Kunar River, which it shares with Pakistan, at a time when the two nations are at loggerheads
- The Kunar River is also known as the Kama River.
- It flows for about 480 kilometers (298 miles) through northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan.
- This river starts high up in the Hindu Kush mountains.
- Its waters come from melting glaciers and snow.
- In Pakistan, this river is known as the Chitral River.
- It is a tributary of the Kabul River.
- The Kabul River then flows into the much larger Indus River. This makes the Kunar River part of the Indus watershed.
- The Kunar River begins just south of the Broghil Pass. This area is in the upper part of the Chitral District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.
- It is very close to the border with Afghanistan, known as the Durand Line.
- As the river flows, it passes through different regions.
- It eventually reaches Jalalabad in Afghanistan. Here, the Kunar River joins the Kabul River.
- On its left side, the Shishi River joins it.
- On its right side, rivers like the Lotkoh River, the Landai Sin River, and the Pech River add their waters.
