- Abstract
The conflict over sharing water resources among the provinces of Pakistan has serious implications for the politics and economy of Pakistan. The issue had its origin since the time of British India. However, the nature of the issue became more serious after the partition of Sub-continent as partition provided the control of rivers irrigating the areas of Pakistan to India. In this context, water treaties with India, augmented the tension between Punjab and Sind over the water sharing. Successive governments of Pakistan failed to resolve the issue. The growing demand- supply gap and climate changes are exacerbating the problem of water sharing among the provinces. Shortage of water has affected not only the Inter-Provincial relations but the agriculture, industry and power sector of Pakistan, immensely. With this theme present paper analyzes the water sharing conflict mainly between Punjab and Sind in the politics of Pakistan to comprehend its implications on the politics of the state.
