Panggong and Satlej lakes would again increase and begin to drain to the Indus
system, as they have done before. Comparing the «Panggong River» with its
neighbours, the Indus and the Satlej, we see that it has suffered much more than

the two others. This is easy to explain from the fact that it is situated at the greatest
distance from the margin of the mountains, and that a greater amount of moisture
is captured by intervening ranges than in the case of the two others.
