XVII. HYDRO POLITICS | PAKISTAN AFFAIRS | CSS EXAM | CSS PMS TIMES

Water is a crucial resource for life, economic development, and political stability, but Pakistan is facing severe water scarcity, and hydro politics is shaping both domestic policies and regional relations in South Asia. In this video, we dive deep into the water challenges within Pakistan, exploring the critical issues of overdependence on the Indus River, inefficient water management, inter-provincial disputes, groundwater depletion, and pollution.

We also examine the regional dimension of hydro politics, focusing on Pakistan's tense water relations with neighboring India and Afghanistan, as well as the role of China in regional water security. The 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, the concerns over Indian water projects, and the potential impacts of Afghan dams on Pakistan’s water resources are discussed in detail.

We explore potential solutions, from improving water management and infrastructure to fostering regional cooperation and addressing the impacts of climate change. With water security being essential for Pakistan's future, this video highlights the importance of sustainable policies and diplomatic engagement to ensure peace, stability, and prosperity in the region.

Watch to learn more about how water scarcity, political tensions, and climate change intersect, and discover the steps that can be taken to secure a water-sustainable future in Pakistan and South Asia!
