India lets loose more water towards Pakistan

[Pakistani shaheens]

You and @Pakistani shaheens, India does stops water flowing sometimes in the summer but blaming them is of no use cuz if we don't have anything to store the water what's the use of it flowing and being wasted. The water that comes nowadays if we can store that we can have supply for the whole year or more and I will not be surprised if we can somehow use it to irrigate Balochistan .

Just imagine for a one second how much catastrophe will it cause if we store all of our water and all of a sudden india releases it's water lol and I'm sure if this happens then nawaz sharif will make some sort of metro boat or something lol

Well I don't remember the treaty nor am I an expert but what bothers me really is seeing every year huge amount of water being lost at this time of season.

That is the sad part. Pakistan screams murder every monsoon but by not making arrangements to store atleast some of this water ends up screaming murder again in the summer. Easy to blame India but few (like you) bother with understanding the root cause of your troubles. Internationally, there is not much support for Pakistan when it is screaming murder(for whatever reason) because Pakistan has done an unbelievably horrendous job with water management. Pakistan gets no traction talking about Indian dams because you simply allow most of your water to flow into the sea during the monsoon. Water management in Pakistan borders on the criminally reckless.

Lol I think it will be less than what is happening currently and previous years. Also we won't be able to see Venice anymore but metro boat sounds cool, hope they do that . Maybe in Gwadar

Look I'm not defending our corrupt politicians but I am just pointing out that it's our water whether we waste it or utilize it, others should have no concern over it. They can make many dams as they wants in their rivers we have no issues over it but making dams in our rivers is not only the indus water treaty violation but also a crime.

Dude you are right but we need something solid to point it out, if you are wasting water and highlighting (talking about media here), no one will take you seriously. To be honest I am against the Indus water treaty, if every country enjoys full access to their rivers why can't we? But seeing what our leaders are doing, I think we can never make some solid points and its not worth debating for.

It's as clear as crystal, in 1948 India ceased the flow of water into Pakistan for a month.
India has now made tons of dams in Pakistani rivers which can give them an edge to manipulate the flow of water towards Pakistan. And few years ago india opened its all dams which caused massive flood in Pakistan. And now india has done the same.

If this goes on then I'm afraid that in near future the world will witness the bloody nuclear war. A war which will be fight over water. And A war which will end the story of Pakistan and india for ever.

What have you done in last 65 odd years to get rid of it ? How many dams have you build ? Was going through the records and almost every second year Pakistan find itself in this kind of situation. What has been done by you other than cursing India for your faults ?

No lessons learnt in flood-hit Pakistan - Pakistan - DAWN.COM

Wow, man.. You would rather nuke India than build dams for yourselves? That too when India has been open to international arbitration over IWT.

 

[Pakistani shaheens]

The dams don't become illegal because you claim so. India is allowed to build dams, a reading of the IWT will disabuse of you of any silly notions. You have lost cases you have brought at international tribunals precisely because of such thinking..

As per IWT india is not allowed to make any dams in our rivers. And yes in international tribunals we have lost the case but that doesn't means that international tribunal has given you guys a full Luxury and authority of storing water from rivers..

After the initial filling up, the dams simply release any water they receive. Which means in the monsoon, any quantity received will be released in full..

If dams are functioned to empty the water as soon as they recieves then there should have been no floods and why we don't see these sorts of flooding in the summers. In summers the the glaciers are melted in more amount to give more water than in the monsoon season. This is because india stores water upto the top and during the monsoon they opens their spillway to add more water to flood.

Ask your government to allow India to divert water & I'm sure India will be glad to do that. The dams will release all the water they receive, it makes no difference for Pakistan. If the dams didn't exist, they would receive almost exactly what they are getting now.

If the rivers are diverted then there will be no water left in Pakistan, then we will die of insufficient amount of water.(Na rahay ga baans na baggy gi banssarie Lol) So there will be a 100% chance of a bloody war if india ever tried to do it.
And it's also illegal according to IWT and international laws to divert water. If you really wants to divert the river then you can do it in your rivers (Beas, Ravi and Sutlej). And Leave our rivers alone and don't even think of making any dams on it.

That would be music to Indian ears. The IWT is probably among the most generous treaties anywhere in the world for the lower riparian state. Reworking that would probably get Pakistan a lot less water than it gets now ( which is some 80%)

I never said that we should nuke india but I'm just saying that the amount of water in Pakistan is decreasing due to creation of large amount of indian dams on our rivers. In future there will be no water left in Pakistan ultimately it will lead to a war which will destroy both countries. So I order to prevent it both countries should resolve this sensitive issue before it gets worst.

Indian dams are run of river type, can't store water like Tarbela or Mangla dam for exemple. And as i said before rivers responsible for current flooding do not have any site for dams in Pakistan.

It was , now with global warming and stuff water is decreasing. Also remember that its international law that you can't block water flowing into other countries and you did in 1960s so people like me will still say that it isn't fair but if we are not storing water then debating about it is stupid.

We have sites like soan, munda, diamer, kalabagh etc but our government isn't making them. For flooding on Chenab we need to build reservoirs and if we can reroute water to jehlum or do something better.

All the dams you mentioned have nothing to do with current flooding. But they sure would have helped in super floods of 2010.
