Under the Indus Water Treaty, the use of which rivers was allocated to Pakistan?

  • (A) Indus, Jhelum and Sutlej
  • (B) Jhelum, Chenab and Beas
  • (C) Indus, Jhelum and Ravi
  • (D) Indus, Jhelum and Chenab
  • The Indus Water Treaty of 1960, facilitated by the World Bank, divides the Indus water basin between India and Pakistan. The rivers are classified into two groups, the Western and the Eastern rivers. Pakistan has priority rights to the use of the Western rivers, while India is allowed limited non-consumptive use of the waters of the Western rivers, such as for run-of-the-river hydel power generation, navigation, and certain agricultural needs.
  • Western Rivers (Pakistan): The waters of the Indus, Jhelum, and Chenab were allocated to Pakistan for unrestricted use.
  • Eastern Rivers (India): The waters of the Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej were allocated to India for exclusive use.
