The Indus Waters Treaty faces a perfect storm

Under growing strain, the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) between India and Pakistan is facing new challenges, particularly as India seeks modifications to address disputes over project rights on the western rivers allocated to Pakistan. This development has sparked diplomatic tensions and raised questions about the treaty’s future viability. While the IWT has endured decades of conflict and political strain, the current situation underscores the need for a balanced approach and cooperative dialogue to maintain water-sharing stability in the region.
