It may not be immediately possible for India to stop the flow of river water to Pakistan due to infrastructural constraints on the ground, but the neighbouring country will feel the pinch during winter when it would be possible for New Delhi to regulate water flow of the western rivers - Indus, Jhelum and Chenab - through its existing upstream infrastructure.

Observers say that the current phase (April-September) is a period of 'high flow' due to the melting snow in the Himalayas and it, in fact, makes it a necessity for India to let water flow to Pakistan as it does not have adequate storage capacity.
