As you can see, India is building a dam at a place called Gurez. (work done by National Hydro Power Corporation (NHPC))
India will divert this water via a 20+ km tunnel for generating electricity.
This tunnel will deliver water to Kishanganga hydroelectric plant (KHEP) @Bonar Nalla and generate about 300+MW
electricity.
Pakistan objected to this project.
India refused to stop the project.
So, 2010 Pakistan approaches International Court of Arbitration (ICA) saying that India has violated the Indus water treaty of
1960.
The court gave stay order and stopped India from constructing the project while the case was going on.
India was represented by noted legal expert Mr.Fali S Nariman. (2 marker person in news)
Pakistan was represented by Mr. I.M. Notimp4upsc.
After hearing both the side, We order that
Court
1. India has right to build dam and divert water from River Kishanganga.
2. BUT India will have to maintain some minimum water flow, for Pakistans use. It means Indian doesnt have
right to FULLY divert water.
India
Court
That well tell you in December 2013. But in the mean time, both of your submit your survey database to us. So we
can decide the minimum flow.
And @Pakistan, you also give data on how much water do you from Kishanganga sorry Neelam, for
agriculture/irrigation?
Pakistan Ok.
India
Objection! I suspect that Pakistan will intentionally come up with fake data that they need huge amount of water for
irrigation!
Court
It is for us to decide whether data is legit or fake! But submit the data first.
Plus, When both of your submit data, youll be given the opportunity to make objection against other partys data.
To sum up: This is only a partial verdict, and full verdict will come in Dec 2013.
Another Development is Pakistan handed over Gwadar port to China.
You already know the background and strategic importance of Gwadar port. If not, click me
In Feb 2013, Pakistan and China signed an agreement to hand over control of the strategic Gwadar port on the Arabian Sea to

Dear Mrunal,
I read your articles and find them informative but with this article I was disappointed. For an UPSC aspirant, aspirants ought to know
specific details of contentions and disagreements that existed between various stakeholders and other technical observations which
I dont find in this article, neither concerns of Environment were discussed. Nevertheless, thanks for your spirit and hard work for
sharing everything.

A correction: It should be Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) instead of International Court of Arbitration (ICA is altogether a
different organization under International Chambers of Commerce for commercial dispute resolution)

Two more not so important facts.
1.
Fali S Nariman Also argues the case in supreme court on Cauvery issue from Karnataka State Government
2.
There was takkar/punga [issue] with pakistan on baghliar dam on chenab project.
IWT states restricted amount of water as permissible for storage [sediment flushing] in Indian dam . But the neutral expert for
Baghliar project overlooked this clause of the treaty and gave a thumbs up signal for storing water under sediment management in
baghliar project[which was more than the restricted amount in IWT].India was well within its limit to store some good amount of
water which will cause atleast 20% deficit for Pakistans power generation project [present kishenganga issue]. Hence the great ICA
has suggested that it is time to relook the baghliar issue and limit the water storage level as per IWT even though it is for sediment
flushing.
Tschus!!

Reply to this comment
It would be helpful if you explain me about sediment flushing as I am unable to understand this by the news readings. What is
it actually?
Praveen H S
Reply to this comment
In simple terms.it is a method/technique used for removing sediment deposition in dams .Deposition usually occurs
when the in-flowing water carry sediment along. Because of sediment deposition in dams the capacity to hold water
decreases [approximately 1% around all dams globally]
Sediment flushing requires lot of water to be stored.Flushing happens at low levelsIt is relatively cheaper mechanism to
de-silt the tank when compared to other forms of de-silting .Dredging/Siphoning
Dredging : in layman language it is like literally removing sand using JCB machine[however in dredging heavy duty
cranes are used]
Siphoning :it works on principle similar to vacumm cleanerit sucks the sediments [like used in aquarium Cleaning :-))]
