India also uses approximately 90% of water on its part. In 1960, the agreement was signed between India and Pakistan dividing the Indus valley into 6 rivers. Under this Agreement, a meeting of the Indus Water Commission is compulsory between the two countries each year.

After using India, the remaining water goes to Pakistan. While around 135 million acres of annual Western rivers like Indus, Jhelum and Chenab were allocated to Pakistan. The Indus water system includes the main river as well as five tributaries. These rivers include Ravi, Beas, Sutlej, Jhelum and Chenab. These rivers flow to the left of the Industry river. Ravi, Beas and Sutlej are called oriental rivers while Chenab, Jhelum and Indus are called Western rivers. The water of these rivers is important for India and Pakistan. In such a situation, it will be heavy for Pakistan to postpone this agreement.
