Pakistan And India-Water Disputes-News And Updates

Ok, if we are playing with rhetoric and jingoism, here is the Pakistani response:

Go build dams and stop our share of waters, Pakistan will have a right to destroy them and destroy it will!

Happy now fanboy?

LOL..... why damns ? Indus can be diverted using Canals and Huge Pipes :angel:

Even if we build dam's ... its permissible under the IWT :lol:
 
.
How will you know if we have touched YOUR share ? :lol:

Remember the IWT commission has been suspended.............. so you will be deaf and blind regarding the misuse of Indus water.

We will, don't worry.

It is not the Vedic era we are living in, ... :lol:

True ..... which is why we can now divert rivers, build dam's, build canals, build huge pipelines , dump sewage into Rivers and Refuse to cooperate with inspectors who come seeking information on the River :P

My response was highlighting the "New domain of conflicts". By the way there are many tributries originating from tibet, landing on main rivers. What india could do is to make more barrages on three rivers that they have a right on as per IWT and nothing else.
That is true. There are quite a few tributaries that collect water from Tibet. It will cause a decrease in water coming into India. However in case India decides to abrogate IWT, we can gain a lot more water of what is being let off to Pakistan. While we lose water coming from China, but it will be more than made up by water not sent out.
However I don't think that is going to happen.

India today ruled out cancelling the Indus Waters Treaty With Pakistan, but sources said the government, in a move that will rattle Islamabad, is looking into ways of increasing its use of waters that flow from India but are controlled by Pakistan. "Blood and water cannot flow together," Prime Minister Narendra Modi reportedly said at a meeting where India's options were discussed.
Here are 10 facts on the story:
  1. PM Modi met top officials including the National Security Adviser and Foreign Secretary to assess the 1960 treaty with Pakistan days after the Uri terror attack in which 18 soldiers were killed
  2. Sources said the government has decided on maximum use of three of the rivers that are governed by Pakistan under the treaty - Indus, Chenab and Jhelum.
  3. The deal was signed between India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Pakistan's president General Ayub Khan after World Bank-brokered negotiations that lasted almost a decade.
  4. Control over the three eastern rivers - the Beas, Ravi and Sutlej - was given to India while the three western rivers went to Pakistan, unrestricted.
  5. India can use only 20 per cent of the water of the Indus, which flows through it first, for irrigation, transport and power generation.
  6. Sources say the government's plan is to exploit an option it hasn't for 30 years - which is to use the western rivers to benefit farmers of Jammu and Kashmir
  7. "The decision is to store water and maximize irrigation area. With this we would be able to irrigate land in Jammu and Kashmir for nearly six lakh hectares," said sources, adding that the decision also addresses the sentiment of people of the state, who believe the treaty isn't fair to them.
  8. India has been debating whether it can afford to leverage the river agreement to tighten pressure on Pakistan after the Uri terror attack. But officials say India cannot afford to reckon without China, where the river Indus originates. China also holds the controls of the river Brahmaputra, which sustains large parts of India and Bangladesh.
  9. If India were to cut off supply to Pakistan, it could cause major crises in that country as a majority of its areas are dependent on Indus water.
  10. But stopping the flow of the Indus into Pakistan would cause floods in Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab. Sources say the government wants three dams on the river Chenab to be speeded up, though that is not an immediate solution

One fact our Pakistani friends don't seem to be getting is that India can stay well within the IWT and still hurt you. Right now we only use a fraction of the water allocated to us. If we start using all of it or close to it, the results would be detrimental and guess what we don't even have to break the treaty. That will come later if terrorism continues. :D

We don't even use fraction, using all the water means Pak looses 15% + of its water supply..

Why would you using the waters allotted to you be detrimental to us?
