The Indus Water Treaty, which was signed in 1960 by India and Pakistan, outlines a structure for collaboration between the two nations over the usage of the Indus River and its tributaries, including the Sutlej, Beas, Ravi, Jhelum, and Chenab.
The agreement allots ownership of the three western rivers (Indus, Chenab, and Jhelum) to Pakistan, while giving India ownership of the three eastern rivers (Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej).
Although the treaty is often used as a model for the peaceful cohabitation of two adversarial neighbours, there are still disagreements over its interpretation, which seem insurmountable to be resolved anytime soon.
