{"content":"🚨 India’s Refusal to Restore Indus Waters Treaty: Possible implications for Pakistan Earlier today, India announced it would never restore the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), a 1960 agreement with Pakistan that has governed the sharing of the Indus River system’s waters for over six decades. This decision is as the result of treaty’s suspension in April 2025 after the attack in Kashmir. ✅ Implication of this decision on Pakistan: Pakistan relies on the Indus, Jhelum, and Chenab rivers—allocated to it under the (IWT) for 80% of its irrigated agriculture, which supports 16 million hectares of farmland and contributes nearly 25% to its GDP. The treaty’s termination threatens water security, as Pakistan’s major cities like Karachi and Lahore, and key hydropower plants like Tarbela and Mangla, depend on these flows. With only 14.4 million acre feet of storage capacity about 10% of its annual water share Pakistan is ill equipped to handle disruptions. India’s decision also halts the sharing of critical hydrological data, previously mandated by the IWT, which Pakistan needs for flood forecasting and irrigation planning. Incidents like the unnotified water releases in April and May 2025, which caused flooding in Pakistan. The entire situation isn't looking good for Pakistan but hopefully international communities will intervene and resolve this ongoing conflict and 1960 IWT treaty will be uphold once again.
