'Indus Water Treaty Not feasible to maintain': India serves notice to Pakistan, seeks Modification.

[Waz]

Pakistan and Bangladesh get water share as certain percentage of total water. So instead of cheering for China they should wish that China doesn't stop any flow, Otherwise the rundown country at the extreme end will pay most heavily.

They can stop enough to end your delusions and bring you to your senses.

well more than 80% of water for bhramputra is made in indian state of arunachal pradesh which china calls its part but we are not like pakistan that gifts akasi chin for so called friendship ... let them try if they think they are smart we also know how to trun the taps dry for them ... cheers mate

Erm, erm, we're not just talking about the bhramputra but the very Ganga itself! You can't turn anything off lower riparian citizen.

Cheers.

Very little actually works between India and Pakistan - infact the Indus Treaty is one of the few things that does - and India wants to mess with that. Go figure.

Why does it work, why it not been messed up like other things between India and Pakistan?

Because IWT was hugely advantageous to Pakistan from the beginning. So Pakistan had no interest in messing it up.

Some how, if China is able to stop Indus and Chenab from flowing.

We will take our share out of other 4 Indus rivers which originate in India.

You don't really follow posts do you? Who mentioned anything about the Indus or Chenab. It's the Sutlej, Ganga and Brahmaputra the Chinese are on top of.

I am not sure about Sutlej, but Ganga and Brahmaputra most of the water is added in India to the rivers. China actions will have impact mostly it will be BD which will be impacted.

1. Ganga originates in india at Gangotri glacier.



2. Brahmaputra receives most of its water from India itself as it flows through areas which receives highest rainfall on Earth.
3. Four of the six rivers under Indus water treaty namely, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi , Beas originate in India.

It's major tributaries come from China......





Your rainfall is infrequent and reducing by each year .

Monsoon 2024 unlikely to bring relief to North East India as IMD forecast paints grim picture, dry trend to continue

The southwest monsoon 2024 is expected to bring good rainfall to most regions of India — with the notable exception of the northeastern states, according to the

It's from glacial melt flow for the Ganga. I put up loads of links last time round showing this. For the Brahmaputra is partial but still important.

• Snowmelt
  Snowmelt is a major contributor to the Ganges River's flow in the spring, and can reach far into the Ganges plain. One study found that snowmelt contributed 42.9% to the river's flow in July, and 91.9% in May.
  
  
  
• Glacier melt
  One study found that glacier melt contributed 8.1% to the river's flow in May, and 47.4% in July

Results show that snowmelt contributed about 6% of the total annual flow of the whole Brahmaputra, 21% of the upper Brahmaputra, and 5% of the middle Brahmaputra. The basin-wide average annual water yield (AWY) is projected to increase by 8%, with the maximum percentage increase in the pre-monsoon season. The annual snowmelt is projected to decrease by 17%, with a marked decrease during the monsoon but an increase in other seasons and the greatest percentage reduction in the upper Brahmaputra (22%).

Climate Change Impacts on the Hydrology of the Brahmaputra River Basin

Climate change (CC) is impacting the hydrology in the basins of the Himalayan region. Thus, this could have significant implications for people who rely on basin water for their lives and livelihoods. However, there are very few studies on the Himalayan river basins. This study aims to fill this...

1. These are the major tributaries for Ganga river. How many them originate in China ?



2. North East is still the wettest region on Earth and It is not even the bread basket of India.

Look above the major ones lol, which provide vital meltflow.
I just gave you links showing reduced water fall year on year.

You can ignore it all you want.
Bottom line you are not capable of doing anything.

Well we can divert the Indus rivers.

Well we can divert the Indus rivers.

And what does that achieve? I mean seriously its not like half of India is depending on the water from the Indus and its tributaries. But most of Pakistan does depend on the water from the Indus check a map it pretty much flows through nearly the whole country.

If India is genuine about wanting more water for its towns around the river then Pak should respond positively as water should be accessible to all, but if Modi is trying to look strong and stoke unwarranted tensions then he can be ready for Swift Retort 2.0 if from his barking he tries to go too far.

Indus water treaty was signed in 1960 and it over generous to Pakistan and for what?
So that a war in Kashmir could be avoided. (In that respect IWT was collosal failure as we have already had 3 wars and a major insurgency in Kashmir since then.)

China never bothered to sign such a treaty with India.

85 -90 percent of Indus water flow to Pakistan and Pakistan does not even use that water.

When ever India tries build even run of the river dams on the 3 western rivers. Pakistan raises default objections on them and their construction gets delayed by decades.

Why should we have go through all this. We too are an upper ripparian state.

China never bother to ask us, before building dams on shared rivers.

Watch below by Shekhar Gupta, he explain what problems India has with IWT in its current form. It is an year old, but still relevant.
