The Indus Waters Treaty, signed on September 19, 1960, between India and Pakistan with World Bank mediation, provides a specific framework for sharing the Indus river system [3]. According to Article I of the treaty, the term 'Eastern Rivers' is defined as the Sutlej, the Beas, and the Ravi taken together [3]. Conversely, the term 'Western Rivers' refers to the Indus, the Jhelum, and the Chenab taken together [3]. Under the treaty's provisions, India is granted exclusive rights to the unrestricted use of the waters of the three Eastern Rivers [1]. Pakistan is allocated the waters of the three Western Rivers, though India is permitted certain limited uses for domestic, non-consumptive, agricultural, and hydroelectric power generation purposes on these rivers subject to specific technical constraints [1]. Both statements provided in the question accurately reflect the treaty's definitions.
