India has suspended its participation in the Indus Waters Treaty, a major water-sharing agreement with Pakistan. It comes in response to a recent attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir. The treaty splits control of the six rivers in the Indus Basin between the two countries that's held for 65 years, despite ongoing conflict. The World's Host Carol Hills spoke with Professor Hassaan Khan, of Tufts University, about the history of the treaty, the ramifications for Pakistan - an already water-scarce country - and what this could mean for wider water diplomacy.
