Abstract
Because of the increasing global scarcity of water, international watercourse management has become a major global concern. For both India and Pakistan, the Indus River Basin presents a particularly serious challenge in dealing with this issue. The water from the Indus Basin is used for a wide range of purposes, including irrigation, hydropower generation, and many more. Water flow in Pakistan's western rivers and streams are being severely restricted by various Indian water management projects. These initiatives might jeopardise Pakistan's current water management infrastructure. As a result, the Indus Waters Treaty offers guidance to both countries on how to effectively manage the Indus Rivers. In addition, international law has a number of principles and protocols that address the management of transboundary watercourses. India and Pakistan, for example, can follow these principles to ensure that watercourse basins are not depleted or polluted and that they do not cause harm to neighbouring states. They can also utilise these principles to implement specialised water management techniques.
