WASHINGTON: A White House report on Thursday advised that inter-state water controversies in South Asia were adding, and while the Indo- Pak Indus Waters Treaty “ has resisted six decades and four Indo- Pakistan wars ”, it’s now “ facing pressure due to the indigenous population growth and disagreement over hydropower use ”.

These compliances were noted in the first US Action Plan on Global Water Security launched on Thursday. The policy paper, launched by Vice President Harris, says “ while water governance within India has bettered over the last decade ”, “sub-national inter-state water controversies have increased ”.

The report also predicts that by 2040, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan will be among the most water-stressed countries in the world.

“ Climate change is formerly impacting the region, with rising temperature, reduced rush, and retreating glaciers further stressing water inventories, ” it adds.

It also points out that the recent increase in air temperatures and drop in rain and snow at advanced elevations in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia has led to severe and prolonged famines, performing in a loss of beast, reduced agrarian product, and dropped groundwater. All of these hang “ water inventories, food security, energy grids, political stability and the habitability of some regions ”.
