 ЁЯМА Indus Water Treaty

Context : After a gap of more than two and half years Indian and Pakistani delegations have begun the 116th Meeting of the Permanent Indus Commission.

About the Indus Water Treaty:


It is a Water-Distribution Treaty, signed in Karachi on 1960, between India (Pm Jawaharlal Nehru) and Pakistan (President Ayub Khan), brokered by the World Bank.


Under the treaty, India has control over water flowing in the eastern rivers– Beas, Ravi and Sutlej.


Pakistan has control over the western rivers– Indus, Chenab and Jhelum.


As per the treaty, the water commissioners of Pakistan and India are required to meet twice a year and arrange technical visits to projects’ sites and critical river head works.


Both the sides share details of the water flow and the quantum of water being used under the treaty.
