Q23. What is the “Indus Water Treaty”? By which issue, the treatyagreed by both Pakistan and India?

Ans: Indus Waters Treaty:
In 1947, at the time of partition, Ferozpur Headworks built on River Sutlej
and Madhupur on River Ravi were given to India. This was despite the fact
that the canals emerging from them irrigated a vast area of Pakistan. India
stopped the water flowing from these canals. This led to a water dispute
between the two countries. To solve this issue, with the cooperation of the
World Bank, in 1960 both countries agreed to a treaty called the Indus
Waters Treaty. According to this treaty 3 western rivers (Indus, Jhelum and
Chenab) were Pakistan’s share while 3 eastern rivers (the Ravi, the Sutlej
and the Beas) went to India.
