Study area showing the Tarbela-Indus and Mangla-Jhelum reservoirs, associated basins and sub-basins of PUIRB. Tarbela is the only major reservoir in PUIRB stretching from Gilgit in north Karakoram to eastern and central Himalaya in disputed Kashmir and in north western India. Mangla reservoir is spread across Azad and Jammu Kashmir and considerably smaller in term of basin size. The ALOS GDEM based topography shows the diversification of ecosystem that exists in basins of both reservoirs. Two Landsat satellite grids show the image foot prints. Landsat satellite data were obtained from the Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center of the United States Geological Survey, USA (https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/) and ALOS GDEM data were obtained from ALOS Science Project, Earth Observation Research Center (EORC), Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) (https://www.eorc.jaxa.jp/ALOS/en/aw3d30/).
