Option 3 : Indus

The correct answer is Indus.

Indus water treaty between India and Pakistan was signed in the year 1960.
The Indus system comprises the main Indus, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej.
The basin is mainly shared by India and Pakistan with a small share for China and Afghanistan.
With the partition of India in 1947, the waters of Indus rivers system were also divided.
The treaty was signed by the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Pakistan’s President Ayub Khan.
It was brokered by the World Bank (International Bank for Reconstruction and Development).
The sharing formula, devised after prolonged negotiations, sliced the Indus system into two halves.
The three ‘western rivers’ (Indus, Jhelum and Chenab) went to Pakistan and the three ‘eastern rivers’ (Sutlej, Ravi and Beas) were portioned to India.
India is allowed to use 20% water of the western rivers for irrigation, power generation and transport purposes.
