#2 B.S. Article
(1) Pakistan cannot win either conventional or nuclear wars with India. It will not obtain water by war.

(2) All India's dams are built under the Indus Water Treaty provisions. This treaty, negotiated by Robert McNamara gives Pakistan four-fifths of the water of the Indus system. India is allowed only run of the river projects. It may not store or divert any of the Indus water. Pakistan gets 80% always.

#3 From The Hindu
no other water-sharing treaty in modern world history matches this level of generosity on the part of the upper-riparian state for the lower-riparian one. In fact, the volume of waters earmarked for Pakistan from India under the Indus Treaty is more than ninety times greater than what the US is required to release for Mexico under the 1944 US-Mexico Water Treaty, which stipulates a guaranteed minimum transboundary delivery of 1.85 billion cubic m of the Colorado River waters yearly. Nehru personally signed the Indus Treaty that apportioned 80.52 per cent of the Indus system waters to Pakistan a munificent allocation by an upstream country unsurpassed in scale in the annals of international water pacts.

#4 Pak would probably use the excuse that the Indians are "contaminating" the Indus with their Hinduism, and it says in the Korn that all water belongs to Muslims.

#6 ION PACIFICNEWSCENTER [Guam K-57 NewsRadio] MEKONG RIVER COMMISSION ANNOUNCES CONSTRUCTION OF XAYABURI DAM IN LAOS HAS BEEN POSTPONED, due to alleged need to complete key environ studies.

I say "alleged" because Beijing = China covertly believes the US is unfairly pressuring Laos + other Regional States to delay or halt collusory riverine dam projects wid China.
