Geography

The Siran River originates from the Mandagucha Glacier and merges into the Tarbela lake. The Siran issues by the glaciers of glorious mountains and flows through the western plain of Pakhli. Two canals have been taken out from the Siran River, the upper Siran canal at Dharial and lower Siran canal at Shinkiari. From Pakhli the Siran runs into the Tanawal hills and joins the Indus at Tarbela in the northwest. Its total course is between 70 miles and 80 miles, and it irrigates 6,273 acres of land.
