A new study from the WHOI found evidence that climate change likely drove the Harappans to resettle far away from the floodplains of the Indus. The Ancient Indus Valley Civilization was thriving 4,000 years ago until a sudden migration led to its demise.

Jun 22, 2024 · Climate change is projected to have significant impacts on the Indus River. Rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns could lead to a water deficit and increased droughts and floods in the Indus River Basin.

Sep 27, 2023 · The physiography, river networks, and climate of the Indus River Basin area are explored in detail. The twin challenges of population growth and climate change are outlined.

May 10, 2021 · This study used improved climate datasets and employed a fully-distributed physically-based energy-balance hydrological model to investigate hydrological regime of the high-altitude Indus basin at four strategic river gauging …

Apr 29, 2015 · Climate change will have a marked affect on meltwater in the Indus Basin and may result in increased flood risk in the Brahmaputra Basin. The overall impact on annual discharge is likely to be low, but more studies are required to understand intra-annual changes and the impact of extreme events.

Jan 1, 2019 · This chapter reviews the literature on future climate projections in the Indus Basin based on climate modeling of the region. A majority of the studies reviewed project an increase in temperature that is more prominent in the higher altitude under high-emission scenarios.

Nov 27, 2014 · A series of climate change scenarios were created to assess the effects of future plausible climate changes on the Indus River Basin. The scenarios consist of hydroclimate changes in the form of surface water inflows, crop water requirements and precipitation changes.

Aug 12, 2022 · According to the results, meltwater from glaciers contributes to about two-thirds of the annual runoff from the UIB. According to the projections, the future temperature will increase by 5.3 °C and annual precipitation will increase by 17% across the UIB.

Sep 27, 2023 · The physiography, river networks, and climate of the Indus River Basin area are explored in detail. The twin challenges of population growth and climate change are outlined.

Jan 2, 2022 · The Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) has come under pressure due to increased water scarcity in India and Pakistan and the environmental threat to the Indus River system. This has led to heated water debates and hawks on both sides talk about water wars and the abrogation of the treaty. The IWT was signed as
