Tributaries
The Ahu River is relatively small and does not have major tributaries of its own. Its significance lies in its role as a contributor to the Kali Sindh River.{{Cite book |last=Bradshaw |first=George |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=N30DAAAAQAAJ&q=AHu+river&pg=RA1-PA421 |title=Bradshaw's hand-book to the Bombay presidency and North-western provinces of India |date=1864 |language=en}}
