#1 Building dams is no fun, that money could be going to militants to annoy India instead. And that's undoubtedly where it will go. Save water drink beer.

#2 The various tribunals and neutral experts from the World Bank have NOT held that India is in violation of the IWT.

Pakistanis however continue with the allegations. Most have not actually read the text of the treaty nor do they appreciate that Pakistan was awarded a far greater share of water than its proportion of the subcontinental population would suggest.

Nehru foolishly thought that giving Pakistan all the water from the three rivers would buy friendship.

#4 Thought this was going to be a story about heavy water shortage in the US. Read a story recently about heavy water shortage at Oak Ridge which could be a problem if we don't replenish.

#5 The Pakis are Perpetual Whiners who Beg for money, sympathy, and special breaks EVERY CHANCE THEY GIT!

Yet the God Damn beggers are causing the entire WORLD gigantic headaches also.

Don't forget the PAKIs are the ones who have destabilized the entire Muslim World by hosting radical Fundamentalists at home AND are selling NUKE TECHNOLOGY and Materials to the NORKS, IRAN, LIBYA, and GOD knows who else.

#7 They can buy heavy water from India

As diplomats in India and the United States work to chalk out the Indo-U.S. Nuclear 1,2,3 Agreement, some heavy water is quietly flowing between the two countries.

For the first time, India exported 4.4 metric tonnes of heavy water to an American firm -- Spectra Gases, headquartered in New Jersey with branches in the UK, Germany and Singapore.

Confirming the deal to 'Times Of India', Heavy Water Board (HWB) chief executive A L N Rao, said on Friday the consignment sailed from Mumbai on February 25 and was expected to reach US shores on March 23. He, however, declined to say from which Indian atomic facility the heavy water was sourced. The capacity utilisation of all the heavy water plants till December 2006 was 113%.

He said that the American firm imported heavy water from India because of its excellent quality and "highest purity" level. India is the world's second largest heavy water producer and has exported it to other countries. India sold 100 tonnes of heavy water to South Korea in 1996 and 30 tonnes to China in June 2003.
