Iran vs Taliban dispute over Helmand river #shorts #Shorts #afghanistan #iran #upsc

Afghanistan's longest river, the Helmand River, originates from the Hindu Kush mountains in Afghanistan and flows into the Hamun Lake on the border between Afghanistan and Iran. It is a source of a longstanding dispute over water sharing between Iran and Afghanistan. Despite the existence of a 1973 Treaty governing the water sharing, concerns persist about the Taliban's commitment to upholding it.

The consequences of this dispute are dire, particularly for the rural areas in Iran's Southern province, which heavily rely on this river for sustenance and largely agricultural economy. Tragically, climate change has further compounded the problem, placing immense strain on the already dwindling water supply. With decreasing rainfall and rising temperatures, the region is now grappling with severe water shortages.

To add to these challenges, Iran has accused the Taliban of restricting the river's flow, thereby violating Iran's water rights and flouting the 1973 treaty. While Iran prefers a politically stable neighborhood, the mounting tensions surrounding this issue suggest that achieving a peaceful resolution may be difficult.
