Скачать или смотреть Sawalkot Dam and the Indus Waters Treaty: Energy Project or Strategic Pressure?

India’s advancement on the Sawalkot Hydropower Project on the Chenab River in Jammu & Kashmir has opened a new chapter in the region’s complex water politics. Officially presented as a run-of-the-river energy initiative worth over ₹5,129 crore, the project emerges at a time when questions are already being raised about the future of the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty. Under the treaty, brokered by the World Bank, the eastern rivers were allocated to India while the western rivers—including the Chenab—were primarily reserved for Pakistan, with limited hydropower use permitted to India. Given that the Chenab is considered vital to Pakistan’s agricultural system, any development on the river is closely monitored in Islamabad.

Previous disputes over projects such as Baglihar, Salal, and Kishanganga (Neelum) highlight how technical design details—water flow control, storage capacity, and structural specifications—can escalate into diplomatic and legal confrontations. While India maintains that these projects comply with treaty provisions, Pakistan has repeatedly sought international arbitration over concerns related to water security and downstream impact. Analysts view the Sawalkot project not merely as infrastructure, but as part of the evolving balance of hydro-strategic power in South Asia, where energy generation, legal frameworks, and geopolitics increasingly intersect.
