Haro (
Khanpur in the Haripur District of Hazara Division to provide drinking water to the twin cities, i.e. Islamabad (the capital of Pakistan) and Rawalpindi. The decrease in inflows from Khanpur dam from the Haro River results in a water shortage in the twin cities during the summer season.[1]
The Haro River rises at the southern end of the
Rawalpindi district near Bhallan and flows through Attock District.[2]
It is fed by four major tributaries:[3]
- The Lora Haro, rising in the Murree Hills around Lora
- The Satora Haro, rising in the Galiat Mallach hills
- Both Lora Haro and Satora Haro merge at Dotara near Jabri
- The Neelan, rising in the Nara Hills
- The Kunhad, draining the area of Siribang and Dubran.
Minor tributaries include the following rivulets.
- Chanjah
- Jab Kattha
- Sajikot kattha
- Najafpur Kattha
This river joins the Indus near Ghazi Barotha Dam.
