It ends at the Sutlej near Kangan Pur 100 km south of Lahore. It is the source of the Lahore Canal which runs westwards to the city of Lahore.

The Ichogil Canal was constructed by Pakistan in the 1950s partly as a defensive obstacle to prevent an invasion of Lahore. At 45 m (148 ft) wide and 5 m (16 ft) deep, it presents a serious obstacle for military forces. It was captured by Indian forces during Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 in the Battle of Ichogil Bund.
