Abstract
This article examines the legal framework governing water management in the Indus basin and identifies its gaps and limitations. The author suggests that adopting international water laws, such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses, could provide a more comprehensive and impartial legal structure for managing water resources in the region. Additionally, the author argues that implementing an integrated management approach involving India and Pakistan could create a favourable opportunity for sustainable development based on limited territorial sovereignty, consultation, notification, and information exchange principles. Overall, the article proposes solutions to the legal challenges of managing water resources in the Indus Basin, intending to achieve sustainable development and equitable utilization of water resources while minimizing conflicts between the two riparian states.
