The Ganga Waters Treaty is a treaty between India and Bangladesh. This treaty was signed in 1996. Recently talks are reported going on between India and Bangladesh. Leaders of both countries decided to start talking about how to renew the agreement. This is from a background of new problems arising from climate changes.
Climate changes affect the Ganga’s flow: Water availability from the Ganga changes because of extreme weather, changing rainfall trends, and melting glaciers. This is the important issue in the renegotiation of the treaty. New studies on these effects are now thought to be necessary to make sure the deal works and lasts.
The Ganga Waters Treaty between India and Bangladesh was signed in 1996. It makes sure that everyone gets an equal share of the water and stops one country from taking it during dry seasons. The deal is meant to end disagreements by ensuring a certain flow of water to Bangladesh during times when drought is likely to happen.
A joint committee was set up to keep an eye on how the water is distributed and check the flow rates at the Farakka Barrage, which is close to their border. This group is in charge of making sure that the deal is followed and settling any disagreements that come up. This treaty encourages the two countries to work together in the future, even though it has been criticized and faced problems.
