Features identified as palaeochannels (A). A complementary interest of the vegetation indices (B) is that they help to distinguish the different geomorphological units (see Fig. 1), including the limits between the deserts and floodplains (1), the modern active riverbeds (2), the multan plain (3), the Ganji bar (4), and the old floodplains of the Ravi and Suletj (5). In the middle of the area (6), traces of an ancient bluff-line separating the Beas and Sultej old floodplains can be seen in some images (particularly in the combinations based in the dry months)
