India's Indus River Dam Network: A Countdown to Pakistan's Water Crisis

• India is aggressively building a network of dams on the Chenab, Jhelum, and Indus rivers, signaling a shift from the Indus Waters Treaty.
• Key projects like Sawalkot, Pakal Dul, Kiru, Kwar, and Ratle on the Chenab River aim to control water flow and generate significant power.
• Pakal Dul, India's tallest dam at 167 meters, will allow water storage, enabling India to regulate flow during critical periods for Pakistan.
• Projects on the Jhelum and Indus rivers, including Kishanganga and Nimo-Bazgo, are being prioritized to maximize water utilization within India.
• The Shahpur Kandi Dam on the Ravi River, completed in February 2024, will cut off water supply to Pakistan, impacting its agriculture.
