With climate change becoming more and more severe, water scarcity will also become more severe. Countries in the global south are already facing issues regarding water scarcity. In southern Asia, the Indus Basin consists of rivers such as the Indus, Chenab, and Jhelum that feed water to many countries in the Global South. Specifically, Pakistan and India have been facing this dilemma for over sixty years. Conflict began when India began withholding water that should have been also getting to Pakistan. Pakistan requires the water from the Indus river to keep its economy alive, which keeps the country alive. India, however, has a strong enough economy, that it can survive with limited water access from the Indues. To resolve the conflict between the two countries, in 1960, the Indus Water Treaty (IWT) was arranged by the World Bank to maintain balanced water control between India and Pakistan.
