2022-06-01 12:01:09 Indus Water Treaty:

Currently in its 62nd year, the Indus Water Treaty was officially signed on September 19, 1960, by the then Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and the then President of Pakistan Ayub Khan, in an attempt to delimit the use of waters, particularly of the Indus River System following the India-Pakistan partition. Strikingly, the negotiation for the agreement went on for nine years before coming to terms in 1960.

About the Indus Water Treaty:

Originating from Tibet, the Indus River Basin comprises six rivers, namely the Indus, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej, mainly flowing through India and Pakistan with a small share for China and Afghanistan.

However, during the partition, the line drawn across the boundaries neglected the water realities, thereby increasing frequent tensions, including conflict between the two nations. Initially, the Inter-Dominion Accord was put in place to tackle the water sharing issue but had largely failed to manage the goal. The accord did not yield the expected result and it was further determined that a different solution was required. Under the Inter-Dominion accord of May 4, 1948, New Delhi would release enough water to Islamabad in return for annual payment.

Finally, in 1960, under the World Bank’s assistance, the two countries took a crucial stride forward and signed the Indus Water Treaty which precisely laid out the details of the allocation of water. Under the treaty, the Eastern rivers (namely Ravi, Sutlej and Beas) were allocated to India for exclusive use. Whereas, the waters of the Western Rivers (namely the Indus, Jhelum and Chenab) were allocated to Pakistan. The treaty also further authorized India to use the waters of Western rivers for- Domestic use, Non-consumptive use, Agricultural Use as set out in Annexure C and Generation of hydro-electric power as set out in Annexure D.

According to the data available, “India is also permitted to construct storage of water on Western Rivers upto 3.6 million acre feet (MAF) for various purposes as specified in the Annexure E of the Treaty.” Open / Comment
