Pakistan is getting dry

[hussain0216]

It was brilliant from the Pakistani side. And that was done at a time when India was generous to Pakistan. In what world does an upstream country give 80% river water to a downstream country. Even accounting for population, it is absurd. India has 6 times Pakistan's population.

At best it should have been a 50:50 split. Yet the Indians despite being upstream and having a much larger population gave away 80%.

It's the Indian negotiators who were losers. But that will never happen again. You can count on that.

That's not how it works, the river system is almost entirely in Pakistan, as a result Pakistan gets 80% of the water, the Indian proportion of water reserves are in line with the length of river system in India or occupied Kashmir

Wrong.

Building more dams alone will not solve Pakistan’s water crisis because the root issue is declining water SUPPLY, not just storage. 50-60% of Pakistan’s water comes from Himalayan glaciers, which are melting rapidly, with up to 35% of their volume projected to be lost by 2050, reducing river flow— No Dam can store water that DOES NOT EXIST

Additionally, 75% of Pakistan’s water originates from rivers controlled by India, meaning upstream diversions could shrink supply regardless of new dams.

Groundwater depletion is also critical, the figures show that over 80% of Punjab’s reserves are overexploited, and even if all wasted water was stored, Pakistan’s total renewable water supply (180 Billion cubic metres) would still fall short of its annual demand (191 BCM), leaving an 11 BCM deficit.

While some water does flow into the Arabian Sea, this prevents seawater intrusion, protecting 2 million acres of farmland in Sindh from turning barren.
Serious diplomatic movements are necessary, and the military might and posturing to back them up is necessary.

The water supply to.pakistan comes from Himlayers glaciers which are mostly in India.
But these glaciers are melting due to global warming
India has controlled water supply via building massive dams
Yet Pakistanis have too much water loss thru no development of dams due to high cost
You have not invested the money
You simply blame India give us more water

Melting glaciers will flood India and disrupt its water supply | FairPlanet

The Himalayas' melting glaciers threaten water for 2 billion people downstream, requiring urgent global action on emissions.

As for bafoons saying we need to prepare military intervention what you going to achieve take Himlayers it's 2000km border stretching from Pak to Bangladesh borders

No one who has halfway decent living in Pakistan gives a fuk about green card .....

Test that theory in the streets - you will be surprised. I just did two months ago and even those making $ millions want out as a backup policy for their kids.

India down south is completely different to what Pakistan is

Pakistan is mountains in the north, valleys and fertile planes in Punjab and Kashmir and KP

Only Sindh and balochistan is a mixture of mountains and arid areas

I understand but still it comes nowhere close to India when it comes to greenery.... not only south but eastern ghats till Bengal from south to Assam, and all those regions and not to mention Andaman and nicobar islands greenery wealth..... and all those scenic beauties you are blessed in north Pakistan, India is equally or more blessed with that.....
At the end of the day it comes to ratio we are among top 10 jungle rich countries and you are not even close to that....

Indian shouldn't be able to stop waters whatsoever.

Why not?

It was a total mess by negotiators on Pakistani side.

Not really. IWT was signed in 1960 or thereabouts. No one could have foreseen the green revolution, the unabated population rise, urbanisation or climate change. The leaders of that time acted as per what could have been foreseen at that time.

The Indian part of the IVC basin had 20% of the population of the IVC and they got 20% of the water.

Man, India is taking way more than that. And this we are witnessing on the ground in Pakistan.

I didn't refer to you at all. Don't know where you popped in from.

Sorry for intrusion if that bothered you, just felt need to rectify false claims.

Regards also.

No they're not. That's just allegations because Pakistanis cannot govern their country's resources. Pakistan has repeatedly lost the cases it has registered against India over violations of IWT in third party courts.

That's not how it works, the river system is almost entirely in Pakistan, as a result Pakistan gets 80% of the water, the Indian proportion of water reserves are in line with the length of river system in India or occupied Kashmir

Doesn't matter. Negotiations, if held now, will yield significantly less to Pakistan.

Why the hell would negotiations happen

It's a Pakistani river system that runs the length of Pakistan, it's only a small percentage that in India or occupied Kashmir

India has appropriate allocation, the rest is naturally flows into a river system that has existed for thousands/ millions of years

Only a complete retard messe about with major river systems

Lol... Everyone wants out... The Generals love green cards for their kids. All of my relatives are children of retired generals living here in America.

Look at a map - the western three rivers run through barren Indian controlled lands with a negligible population and handed to Pakistan. The eastern three rivers which run through Indian Punjab and occupied Kashmir were given to India.

It was a decently fair 50-50 split - if we’re talking population wise, it should’ve been in Pakistan’s favor since Pakistani Punjab and Sindh has a bigger population than every Indian controlled territory which touches the Indus system combined.

If what you said is true regarding the green card, then you are your father's-begotten idiot son.
