The Ganga water-sharing treaty between India and Bangladesh, signed in December 1996, is set to expire this year. Bihar is pressing to address its long-standing demands before renewal. The treaty regulates water sharing during the lean season, specifying water distribution based on flow levels at the Farakka barrage. It also mandates emergency consultations if flow drops below 50,000 cusecs in any ten-day period.
