The Bhakra Nangal Project is built on the Satluj (Sutlej) river, and its canal system is fed by this river.

The Bhakra Dam, which is part of the project, is a concrete gravity dam on the Sutlej River in Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh.

The Satluj is the longest of the five rivers that flow through the historic crossroads region of Punjab. It is a major tributary of the Indus River system. The Bhakra Nangal project is one of the earliest and largest multipurpose river valley development projects in India, providing irrigation and hydroelectric power. The other rivers listed (Chenab, Ravi, Jhelum) are also tributaries of the Indus but are associated with different projects and areas within the Indus basin.
