Which one of the following tributaries of river Indus feeds the canal system of the Bhakra Nangal Project ?

The Bhakra Nangal Project is one of India's largest multipurpose river valley projects, constructed across the Satluj River [2]. The Satluj is a major tributary of the Indus River, originating from the Manasarovar-Rakas Lakes in Tibet [1]. The project consists of the Bhakra Dam, which controls the river's water for power generation and irrigation, and the Nangal Dam located downstream [3]. The canal system fed by this project, including the Bhakra Main Line canal, provides vital irrigation to the states of Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan [5]. While other rivers like the Jhelum, Chenab, and Ravi are also tributaries of the Indus, they are associated with different projects; for instance, the Thein Dam is located on the Ravi River [2]. The Satluj specifically forms the backbone of the extensive canal network in this region.
