Because the Indus river has switched its location at various points in history, it has an "active" delta region, and total delta region (all area that was once a part of the delta). [19] The total area is estimated at 29,524 km 2 (11,399 sq mi), [ 19 ] 30,000 km 2 (12,000 sq mi) [ 17 ] and 41,440 km 2 (16,000 sq mi). [ 16 ]
The delta of this proto-Indus river has subsequently been found in the Katawaz Basin, on the Afghan-Pakistan border.

Most of the delta lies in the southern Sindh province of Pakistan with a small portion in the Kutch region of India. The delta covers an area of about 41,440 km 2 (16,000 sq mi), and is approximately 210 km (130 mi) across where it meets the sea.
Avicennia marina. The flora of the delta is not diverse as few plants can survive the severe conditions of heat and salinity. [4] In 2003, mangrove forests were estimated to cover 820 square kilometres (320 sq mi) of the delta. 95% of the trees were grey mangroves (Avicennia marina), with the remaining 5%, growing on small areas of higher ground, being red mangrove (Rhizophora mucronata ...
The Himalayan watershed is the source of majority of the major river systems in India including the three longest rivers–the Ganges, the Brahmaputra and the Indus. [3] [4] These three river systems are fed by more than 5000 glaciers. [5]

In a trial featuring a mouse model of Alzheimer's, scientists found that inhaling a mixture containing xenon gas helped reduce levels of brain atrophy and neuroinflammation.
