Karachi
A view of Karachi, Pakistan.
The Malir and Layari rivers are both seasonal streams that flow through the city of Karachi.
- Malir River: This river passes through the eastern portion of the city.1
- Layari River: This river runs through the northern section of the city, which is its most densely populated area.1
Because they are seasonal, these rivers do not flow year-round, reflecting the arid nature of the region's physical geography.1
