Pakistan’s Water Crisis | Chenab River Dries Up | Indus Waters Treaty in Danger 2025
Pakistan is facing an unprecedented water crisis in 2025, as the flow of the Chenab River has drastically dropped by 92% compared to its normal levels. This has brought the river's water level dangerously close to the “dead level”, where it can no longer supply water for irrigation or drinking purposes.
⚠️ The situation has put 40% of Pakistan’s crops — including cotton, maize, and wheat — at severe risk, threatening the livelihoods of millions of farmers in Punjab and Sindh. Experts fear that the food supply chain could collapse if this crisis continues.
🌊 Why has Chenab River’s water dropped?
The decline in Chenab’s water level comes after India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack in 2025. India has taken steps to maximize water usage for its own needs, including dam flushing, de-silting, and increased hydroelectric projects.
This has sparked a new wave of tensions between India and Pakistan over water sharing, with Pakistan accusing India of violating international agreements.
💧 What does this mean for Pakistan?
Water levels at key reservoirs like Tarbela and Mangla dams are near dead storage.
Farmers are reporting significant losses, with early Kharif crops already damaged.
Pakistan’s agricultural GDP could shrink by up to 20%, adding to its economic woes.
Food insecurity and rural unemployment are expected to surge.
🌍 Geopolitical Impact
The water shortage is not just an environmental disaster — it is a potential trigger for a major geopolitical crisis in South Asia. The Indus Waters Treaty, often cited as a model for conflict resolution, is now hanging by a thread. There are growing fears of water being weaponized in future India-Pakistan disputes.
