The Sind River or the Sindh River is a river in the Ganderbal district of Jammu and Kashmir state of India. It is a major tributary of the Jehlum River and is 108 kilometres long.

Geography

The Sind River forms the Sind Valley. The source of the river lies in Machoi Glacier at an elevation of 4800 metres, east of Amarnath temple south of Zojila pass.[1][2] It flows through Panjtarni (a camping site of Amarnath yatra) southwards up to Domail where it joins a tributary which doubles its flow from Kolhoi Glacier. It flows mostly westwards along with NH 1D and is fed by many glacial streams on its way to Ganderbal town. At Kichpora Preng it is fed by Wangath river which flows down from the Gangabal Lake. The major tributaries of the river are:

  • Amarnath stream,
  • Kolhoi Grar
  • Shitkadi Nallah,
  • Gund Nallah,
  • Surfraw Nallah and
  • Wangath Nallah

surfraw Nallah is Big Nallah which joins The Sindh at Surfraw(Soraf raw).This Nallah is also known for Beauty and Fish.[3]

It is navigable from Ganderbal town onwards as the waterflow slows down. It joins the Jehlum River at Shadipora.[4] 17 kilometres northwest from Srinagar city. The Sind River passes through a famous alpine hill station Sonamarg where river rafting[5] tournaments on the river are being organised yearly by the Tourism Department of Jammu and Kashmir.[6] It is the only river in Jammu and Kashmir on which three hydroelectric power plants are functional. The waters of the river are used for irrigation by way of different canals[7] and for domestic use after going through water treatment plants.

Fish

The Sind River is the natural habitat of trout, and other various types of fishes. The most famous among them are:[8]

  • Brown trout[9] (Salmo trutta)
  • Rainbow trout (Oncorynchus mykiss)
  • Snow trout (Schizothorax plagiostomus)
  • Shuddgurn
  • Anyour

Ecological issues

Trout and hence trout fishing are at risk along the Sind.h

  • The extraction of sand/bajri by engagement of heavy machines is destroying the natural habitat of trout and other fish.[10]
  • Wastes from dwellings and camps of security forces on the banks of the river, use of pesticides, DDT and insecticides by farmers kills many fish every day.
  • The change in topography leads to destruction of aquatic fauna of Sind.
  • In various riverine villages people catch fish through conventional way of angling and using nets. These methods are replaced today by resorting to unconventional and illegal methods. The worst method is using bleaching powder, procured from officials of PHE department. Bleaching powder not only kills fish but other aquatic life as well. This process is very common during summers, especially in Wayil[11] catchment area. The Fisheries Department and other government agencies do not have a high profile intervening.
  • Mismanagement of water diversion to power canals is another concern for the survival of fish.[12]

Major projects on the Sind

  • Upper Sind Hydroelectric Power project 1st Sumbal.[13]
  • Upper Sind Hydroelectric Power Project 2nd Kangan.[14]
  • Lower Sind Hydroelectric Power project Ganderbal.
  • Rangil water treatment plant.[15]

Major bridges

  • Wayil Road Bridge of NH 1D. It is a steel structure bridge for one way vehicular traffic at a time.
  • Duderhama Road Bridge, connecting Ganderbal town.
