Zhob River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zhob River (Pashto: ژوب سيند) is located in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The name is Iranic in its origin and etymologically identical to those of the Little Zab and Great Zab rivers in Iraq and the Pamirs. In Pashto language, Zhob means "oozing water". The total length of Zhob river is 410 km, and it flows in a north eastern course.
The Zhob River originates in the Kan Metarzai range (Tsari Mehtarazai Pass). It passes about 4 km away from Zhob city. The Zhob River is a tributary of the Gomal River, which it joins near Khajuri Kach.[1] The Gomal River then joins the Indus River 20 miles south of Dera Ismail Khan.
