1960 CE
Indus Waters Treaty
Agua e infraestructura hidráulica · Cuencas transfronterizas · Tratados internacionales · Río Indo
India, Pakistan, and the World Bank signed the Indus Waters Treaty in 1960 after nine years of negotiation. It allocated the western rivers—Indus, Jhelum, and Chenab—primarily to Pakistan, and the eastern rivers—Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej—primarily to India, with permitted uses on the other set and a permanent commission. The signing created rules and channels for information; it did not eliminate the basin’s geographic asymmetries, technical disagreements, or political tensions.
