With the current Ganges water-sharing treaty between India and Bangladesh set to expire next year, India is pushing for a revised agreement that would allow it to draw an additional 30,000 to 35,000 cusecs of water during the dry season (March 11 – May 11).

Under the existing treaty, both countries are entitled to 35,000 cusecs every 10 days during this period. Citing agricultural demands, India—along with support from the West Bengal state government—is seeking to increase its share, according to The Economic Times.
