Indus Waters Treaty

The Indus Waters Treaty is a water-distribution treaty between India and Pakistan, signed on September 19, 1960, which grants control over the waters of the three "Eastern Rivers" to India and the three "Western Rivers" to Pakistan. The treaty allows India to use the water of Western Rivers for limited irrigation and unlimited non-consumptive uses, while Pakistan has exclusive use of Western Rivers after permitted uses in India. Despite several military conflicts, India and Pakistan have not engaged in water wars since the treaty's ratification, with most disagreements settled through legal procedures.learn more on wikipedia
