Abstract
Water disputes between Punjab and Sindh provinces in Pakistan pose a challenge to its existing federal‐state relationship. Sindh alleges that Punjab, due to its domination over state's machinery, diverts the water resources at the cost of others. This dispute is not a new rather it exists since the irrigation system was developed in this region. The colonial rulers constructed canals to promote loyalty and secure their interests. The loyalists and soldiers were provided with land to produce cash crops in canal colonies. The partition of India in 1947 also partitioned the existing irrigation system. Since 1947 many futile attempts have been made to manage the water disputes between Punjab and Sindh. The reasons for it are not only the physical availability of the water resources but many more.
