The Indus River Conflict

 The 1960 treaty between India and Pakistan states that aside from certain specific cases, no storage and irrigation systems can be built by India on the western rivers. India is allowed to store 3.60 million-acre feet (MAF) of water from the western rivers, 2.85 MAF for conservation storage and an additional 0.75 MAF for “flood storage.”

India is building the Kishanganga and Ratle hydroelectric power plants in Jammu and Kashmir. The 60 y/o/ Treaty needs adjustments, but the riparian powers are at war. Both possess nuclear weapons. No joke.
