CASE STUDY 3: THE INDUS RIVER BASIN∗Indus Waters Treaty • July 12th, 2007
The Indus Waters Treaty, which arranges the use of the River Indus water between India and Pakistan, is praised as one of the most sophisticated international water agreements. It has proved stable despite several complications taking place during its negotiations and implementation. Among the multitude of water treaties, this is the only agreement that physically divides a river system between the riparian states. Finally, it is also the only water treaty whereby a third party, the World Bank, played not only a crucial role in brokering the specific arrangements but was also a signatory.
