Indus Basin Project

A flooded Indus river inundates theSrinagar-Kargil-Leh highway.


The Indus Basin Project is a water control project that resulted from a treaty, Indus Waters Treaty,
signed between Indiaand Pakistan in 1960 that guaranteed that Pakistan would receive water from
the Indus River independent from upstream control by India.

The project consisted of the
construction of two main dams, the Mangla Dam built on the Jhelum River and the Tarbela
Dam constructed on the Indus River, together with their subsidiary dams.
