Water Disputes and Nuclear Tensions
The Indus Waters Treaty, signed in 1960 between India and Pakistan, governs the sharing of the Indus River and its tributaries. Recent developments, such as India's construction of dams on rivers allocated to Pakistan, have raised concerns in Islamabad. Pakistan views these projects as potential threats to its water security, leading to heightened tensions.
In various discussions, analysts have highlighted that water scarcity, exacerbated by climate change and upstream water management, could become a flashpoint between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. The fear is that disputes over water resources might escalate into broader conflicts, given the existing hostilities and lack of trust.
