1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 1. 2. 6. 7. 8. What is Kishanganga? Indus Water treaty? Permanent Indus Commission (PIC)? What is the Kishanganga problem? Pakistans objections #1: less electricity for Pak #2: less water for Pak International Court of Arbitration at The Hague Gwadar Port transferred to China Mock Questions
As you can see, India is building a dam at a place called Gurez. (work done by National Hydro Power Corporation (NHPC)) India will divert this water via a 20+ km tunnel for generating electricity. This tunnel will deliver water to Kishanganga hydroelectric plant (KHEP) @Bonar Nalla and generate about 300+MW electricity. Pakistan objected to this project. India refused to stop the project. So, 2010 Pakistan approaches International Court of Arbitration (ICA) saying that India has violated the Indus water treaty of 1960. The court gave stay order and stopped India from constructing the project while the case was going on.
Pakistans objections
If India builds a dam on Kishanganga and diverts water then #1: less electricity for Pak We are also building a Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower project. This plant will have electricity generation capacity of almost 1000MW. But if India builds a dam on Kishanganga (=Neelum) then less water flow for Pakistans side = this projects electricity generation capacity will be reduced by 150MW. #2: less water for Pak 1. Well will receive 15% less water (from our original share of river waters according to Indus Water treaty). 2. We might not get water at all from Neelum River for about seven to nine months a year! = not good for agriculture.
India Court
To sum up: This is only a partial verdict, and full verdict will come in Dec 2013. Another Development is Pakistan handed over Gwadar port to China.
to a Chinese company, According to this agreement, 1. Gwadar sea port will remain the property of Pakistan. 2. And the Chinese company will share profits from its operation.
