Question

List three causes of water disputes.

Answer 1

Following are the three causes of water disputes between several states:

• Since a river flows through multiple states, agreements have been signed regarding the sharing of water. However, the lack of proper details of the agreements provides room for disputes among several states regarding the sharing of water.
• Ambiguity regarding control and distribution of water of the rivers flowing through several states and river valleys becomes a source of conflict between states.
• The irregular implementation of such agreements and levying of undue water tax ignite tension between the concerned states.
