According to indus water treaty, Indus, chenab and jhelum were alloted to pakstan. Besides, it was decided that Marala Head could be used by the Indians provided its flow must not go down below 52000 cusecs. But Indian is building dams on these rivers, causing water scarcity in pakistan these days.
