How many redlines do you guys have 😂
Try to stop the water and see what happens. But wait, you people dont even have the capability to do that.
Nonetheless, if our water gets stopped, we will make sure your people drink radioactive water. Peace ✌️

can we keep the discussion more civil? I know it's difficult for the involved parties but constant provoking will make reading this thread intolerable. better lock it than continuing like this

I'll keep an eye on it....but it has to be specific rule breaking (ad hominem etc)....as these are large countries that have fought wars in the end....so it hard to atomize the current affairs when tempers are charged too.

Forced civility often just makes it worse. These convos are kind of intersecting with other fora and larger social media and inertias from that etc.

India did it everyone
They stopped the flow of water to Pakistan even though Pakistan said that they would consider it as an act of war


Clash report is known to sensationalise/clickbait/misinform on things.

This seems like recycled old footage of current capacity for irrigation on western rivers:


India can use the western rivers water for irrigation up to 701,000 acres with new water storage capacity not exceeding 1.54 billion m3 and new storage works with hydropower plants (excluding permitted water storage under unlimited run of the river hydro projects) with storage not exceeding 2.0 billion m3 and nominal flood storage capacity of 0.93 billion m3.[17] These water allocations made to the Jammu and Kashmir state of India are meager to meet its irrigation water requirements whereas the treaty permitted enough water to irrigate 80.52% of the cultivated lands in the Indus river basin of Pakistan.[62][63] Though, any number of Run of River (RoR) hydropower projects can be built by India, the operating pool of a RoR project is of restricted capacity to limit the water storage during the lean flow duration. However, surcharge storage behind the gated spillway in a RoR project is not limited which is useful to store water during the monsoon season for optimum secondary power generation.[64] Due to meagre permitted storage, J&K state is bound to resort to costly de-silting of its reservoirs to keep them operational

The original ANI tweet carries just an image regd suspension of the treaty:


Adding capacity to dams or building new dams to retain more water will take much longer time compared to what can nominally be closed right now that is some small % of total flow.
