India’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty has raised concerns about the future of water-sharing between India and Pakistan. The 1960 treaty allocated the Indus River’s waters between the two countries, but recent tensions over Kashmir have led to fears that India could divert water from the western rivers. Experts argue it’s nearly impossible for India to stop the flow, as it lacks the infrastructure to hold back vast amounts of water. However, any move to alter the flow, particularly during dry seasons, could deeply affect Pakistan’s agriculture and hydropower resources. (PC: Getty Image)
