Synopsis The Indus treaty is a complex instrument. Its basic approach was to increase the amount of water available to India and Pakistan. It is to apportion the water resources of the Indus equitably between them. The conclusion of the treaty in 1960 was a remarkable achievement. Aim of this book is to prepare for our readers a comprehensive and uptodate account of the dispute as well as the present treaty regime applicable to the waters of the Indus Rivers System.
