Modi lays groundwork for water war  

Himalayan rivers have become the new flash point in the bitter India-Pakistan conflict, providing the latest diplomatic weapon in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's push to isolate Islamabad. New Delhi is looking to dams and hydro-electric projects as diplomatic alternatives to military action in retaliation for what it views as Pakistan's support for terrorists striking in India's part of divided Kashmir.

India's plans to review the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty -- an agreement that has survived three wars without modification -- could change the equation with not only Pakistan but also with China, a powerful upstream neighbor that controls Tibet where the Indus, Sutlej and Brahmaputra rivers originate.

China and India have no water sharing treaty and India relies on China to share data on trans-border rivers under a pact signed in 2013.

INDIA reviewing the treaty and examining whether it can further dam and exploit the Indus and five other rivers that flow from India into Pakistan. New Delhi could renegotiate or even tear up the treaty 

Three-quarters of the country's 192 million PAK population dependent on the Indus basin for their livelihoods and drinking water, the move would "undermine Pakistan's agriculture, which is the backbone of the economy," he said. Farm income contributes about 24 percent to gross domestic product in Pakistan and more than 95 percent of Pakistan's irrigated land is in the Indus river basin, according to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization.
