abstract:The Kabul River (Persian/; , Sanskrit: कुभं), the classical Cophes , is a long river that starts in the Sanglakh Range of the Hindu Kush mountains in Afghanistan and ends in the Indus River near Attock, Pakistan. It is the main river in eastern Afghanistan and is separated from the watershed of the Helmand by the Unai Pass.
The gorge, in some places no more than a few hundredyards wide, is framed byverticalrock cliffs that soar more than 2, 000 feet above the KabulRiver below.
There is a need for a targeted action to collect soils, rainfall and river flow data in the Pakistani catchments especially in the upper Indus above Tarbella and the KabulRiver.
