To cashmere administered by Pakistan, large quantities of water were released on April 26, according to the Jinnah Institute, a reflection group led by a former Pakistani minister of climate change.
“This is done so that we could not use water,” added Pirzada.
The doors of the pourings of the lock on the Baglihar dam in cashmere administered by the Indians, which is upstream of the Pakistani Punjab, “were lowered to restrict the water flow … as a short -term punitive action,” a senior Indian official at the Indian Express told.
The Industry Water Treaty allows India to use shared rivers for dams or irrigation, but prohibits diverting watercourses or modifying downstream volumes.
The Indian authorities have not yet commented, but Kushvinder Vohra, former head of the Central Water Commission of India, told Times of India: “Since the treaty is on a break … We can rinse on a project without any obligation”.
Experts have declared that water cannot be stopped in the long term and that India can only regulate the hours when it releases flows.
However, the Jinnah Institute warned: “Even small changes in the time of water versions can disrupt the sowing calendars (and) reduce crop yields”.
