Pakistan has projected a 22% shortfall in water inflows into the Indus Basin for the 2026-27 Kharif season, following the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty after the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack. The shortage affects Punjab and Sindh equally. Pakistan calls the situation a "water war" by India, while India demands Pakistan end terrorism first. Last year’s anticipated shortage was mitigated by floods and snowmelt.
