Water Dispute between India and Pakistan

The New York Times reported on a water dispute between India and Pakistan.
"Water has become a growing source of tension in many parts of the world between nations striving for growth.Several African countries are arguing over water rights to the Nile. Israel and Jordan have competing claims to the Jordan River. Across the Himalayas, China’s own dam projects have piqued India, a rival for regional, and even global, power."
