Write a brief note on Indus Water basin treaty.
Show model answer
The Indus Waters Treaty was signed between Pakistan and India on 19 September 1960 with the World Bank as mediator, after nearly a decade of negotiations following India's 1948 stoppage of canal waters. Under the treaty, the three eastern rivers (Sutlej, Beas, Ravi) were given to India, while the three western rivers (Indus, Jhelum, Chenab) were allotted to Pakistan. The World Bank also arranged international funding for Pakistan to build replacement link canals and the Mangla and Tarbela dams to compensate for the loss of the eastern rivers.
