pakistan won kishan ganga dam case

[Guynextdoor2]

It wont stop india from building the dam.
They don't obey any laws anyway.

Dude, WE DON'T WANT YOUR WATER man, we have rights to use the flows of the river of electricity, that's all we're doing.

me too but i know basic

5 rivers flow from nepal china
enter india and then pak
we have treaty indus water treaty 1960 with world bank involvement

3 for pakistan
indus - jehlam - chenab

3 for india
satluj -biyas - ravi

now india start making dams on 3 pak rivers and said its not effect water flow we just generate power . we will never high dams etc

we just need they leave our 3 rivers alone and mind business with own 2 or other indian rivers

india deepen it with tech issues and dam heights bla bla bla

pakistan went court

There is no evidence to suggest that India has taken any water and we have been true to our commitment that it is only for power. And the way Nawaz is working looks like some of that power is actually coming back to you.
You don't build dams, you have load shedding, instead of at least letting India build dams and cut a deal on the power, you don't want that also to happen...Imran Bhai bijli kahaan se ayegi? Roti kahaan se ayega?

Now Pakistan will dictate indians how to build dam in their land according to our desires.
And Indians will do as it pleases us with the design. this is the victory part indians here are confused about.

Last Pakistan's govt. screwed up big time by not taking necessary action on time, So - it's most likely in India's favor with something for Pak's govt. to save face. Nothing unexpected as we have Chutiyas sitting both in govt. and bureaucracy.

Are you referring to your water commissioner who fled the country for greener pastures.

 

[ssethii]

of course it won't happen you arrogant fools. Thats why we are rejoicing victory over the verdict only and it will be a fallacy to think it will be implemented as is.

Even the verdict doesn't say that. All it tells India is to not divert any water during the lean season. This verdict has now set a precedent and will now allow India to go ahead with the construction of the rest of the dams on "Pakistani Rivers".

Pakistan water commission officers can keep objecting and keep going on all paid holidays to Europe, but at the end India will get to construct the dams.

congs to nation

Pakistan Won the Kishan-Ganga Dam case against India in International Court of Justice.

Really???

I remember reading this news item 5 hours back...

ICA allows India to construct Kishanganga Dam - thenews.com.pk

I wonder why is Pakistani media making up such lies.

you may refuse to accept it but let us rejoice this event as there aren't many these days for us.
You can build as many as you like but just remember don't get "too" high or you may loose your money.

This Final Award imposes no further restrictions on the operation of the KHEP, which remains
subject to the provisions of the Treaty as interpreted in this Final Award and in the Court’s
Partial Award.

SOURCE

V. DECISION

Having considered the Parties’ submissions, the Court of Arbitration unanimously decides:
A. In the operation of the KHEP:

(1) Subject to paragraph (2) below, India shall release a minimum flow of 9 cumecs into the Kishenganga/Neelum River below the KHEP at all times at which the daily average flow
in the Kishenganga/Neelum River immediately upstream of the KHEP meets or exceeds
9 cumecs.

(2) At any time at which the daily average flow in the Kishenganga/Neelum River
immediately upstream of the KHEP is less than 9 cumecs, India shall release 100 percent
of the daily average flow immediately upstream of the KHEP into the Kishenganga/Neelum River below the KHEP.
​

B. Beginning 7 years after the diversion of water from the Kishenganga/Neelum River for power generation by the KHEP, either Party may seek reconsideration of the minimum flow in
paragraph (A) above through the Permanent Indus Commission and the mechanisms of the
Treaty.

C. This Final Award imposes no further restrictions on the operation of the KHEP, which remains subject to the provisions of the Treaty as interpreted in this Final Award and in the Court’s Partial Award.

Neelum-Jhelum Hydro Project was initiated before Kishenganga Hydro Project they said

83. With respect to the first point in time, the Court examined the actions and communications of the Parties from 2004-2006 and concluded that “India has a stronger claim to having coupled intent with action at the KHEP earlier than Pakistan achieved the same at the NJHEP, resulting in the former’s priority in right over the latter with respect to the use of the waters of the Kishenganga/Neelum for hydro-electric power generation.”142


Give us 100 cumec minimum release they said

(1) Subject to paragraph (2) below, India shall release a minimum flow of 9 cumecs into the Kishenganga/Neelum River below the KHEP at all times at which the daily average flow in the Kishenganga/Neelum River immediately upstream of the KHEP meets or exceeds 9 cumecs.


The water of Kishenganga River belongs to Pakistan they said

114. Examining the effect that a 9-cumec minimum would have on the KHEP, the Court notes that this would, on average, accord India 51.9 percent of the flow at the KHEP dam site during the month of January, and that India’s portion of the flow would increase to more than 60 percent in November and February, and well over 75 percent in October and March.

Allow real time monitoring of water levels at Kishenganga Dam they said

121. As recounted in greater detail above (see above at paragraph 71), Pakistan has requested that the Court establish a monitoring regime to permit it to evaluate India’s compliance with the minimum flow fixed in this Award.

In the Court’s view, the appropriate mechanism for the exchange of data and for the monitoring of the Parties’ uses on tributaries of the Indus River is the Permanent Indus Commission. The Court recalls, in particular, that Article VI(1) of the Treaty already requires the Parties to exchange “(a) Daily (or as observed or estimated less frequently) gauge and discharge data relating to flow of the Rivers at all observation sites” and “(b) Daily extractions for or releases from reservoirs.”168 The Court is confident that the Parties will continue to do so, and that the data provided by India will include the necessary data relating to the KHEP. The Court further recalls that Article VIII(4) calls for the Commission to “undertake promptly, at the request of either Commissioner, a tour of inspection of such works or sites on the Rivers as may be considered necessary by him for ascertaining the facts connected with those works or sites.”169
