INDIA-CHINA WATER RELATIONS
What is the current status of India-China water relationship? Trans-border rivers flowing from China to India fall into two main groups –
The Brahmaputra River System on the Eastern side consisting river Siang (mainstream of river Brahmaputra) and its tributaries i.e., Subansiri and Lohit.
The Indus River System on the Western side consists of river Indus and the river Sutlej. There is no institutionalized mechanism on water cooperation between India and China, both countries have signed only -
MoU for Hydrological Information of the River Brahmaputra in 2002 and in 2010 MoU on Hydrological Data Sharing on River Sutlej / Langqen Zangbo (renewed in 2015).
ELM (Expert Level Mechanism) to cooperate in emergency management (e.g., flood), trans- border Rivers issues etc. in 2006. Besides these continuous diplomatic engagement plays a key role in sustained communication for data sharing and other developments in the river systems.
