Abstract
the water disputes between India and Pakistan reflect the tense South Asia political firework between the two countries since partition of British India in 1947. Partition broke the interdependent hydraulic system. The Indus Basin Irrigation system that irrigated some 37 million acres of land was conceived originally as a unified system and considered one of the most extensive and highly developed irrigation systems of the world.
