Explanation

The Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) is a water-distribution agreement signed between India and Pakistan in 1960, with the assistance of the World Bank. It regulates the use of the Indus river system, which flows from India into Pakistan. The treaty divides the six rivers of the Indus basin into two groups, with India receiving exclusive rights to the eastern rivers and Pakistan granted exclusive rights to the western rivers.
