English: In this false-colour image, vegetation is red, and bare ground and settled areas vary in colour from gray to beige. Water ranges in colour from navy blue to teal. The greenish hue of the Indus River likely results from the flooded river’s heavy sediment load. Patches of red in the river hint at the scale of flooding; these areas are farmland submerged by the swollen Indus.
A network of canals connects the Indus to the nearby lake, which also appears flooded. Manchhar Lake (also spelled Manchar Lake) is Pakistan’s largest natural freshwater lake. Located immediately west of the city of Sehwan in the southern Pakistan province of Sindh, Manchhar Lake receives not only rainwater from a vast catchment area in western Sindh, but also fresh river water through the canals. Drainage water also feeds into Manchhar Lake through the Main Nara Valley Drain (not shown), which connects Manchhar to Hamal, another lake to the north.
