It is deeply concerning to witness the devastating impact of the recent floods in Bangladesh, which have caused immense loss of life and property. Who is behind this? It's the one and only cul*prit "india". While the world often views Bangladesh as a flood-prone country, it's crucial to consider the factors contributing to this recurring disaster. The uncoordinated release of water from dams in India during the monsoon season, without prior notification to Bangladesh, has exacerbated the situation, leading to catastrophic floods. This practice raises significant concerns about compliance with international laws governing transboundary rivers.
Bangladesh has faced repeated challenges due to India's control over water resources. During the dry season, when water is most needed, gates are often kept closed, severely impacting agriculture and livelihoods in Bangladesh. Conversely, during the monsoon, intensionally the sudden release of excess water causes floods, further straining the country's resources.
It's time for a more cooperative and transparent approach to water management between these neighboring countries. The international community should pay closer attention to these issues, as they are vital to ensuring fair and sustainable water sharing that respects the rights and needs of all involved.

Transboundary water management is a critical issue for countries sharing river systems. India and Bangladesh, sharing numerous rivers, face significant challenges in this regard. One contentious issue is India’s release of dam water, which has led to flooding in Bangladesh. This essay explores the legal frameworks governing such actions and the environmental and social impacts on Bangladesh.
International Water Law Frameworks
Several international laws and principles govern the use of shared water resources:
Helsinki Rules (1966): These rules emphasize equitable and reasonable utilization of shared water resources and the obligation to prevent significant harm to other states. They consider factors like geography, hydrology, and economic needs.
UN Watercourses Convention (1997): This convention outlines principles for the use of international watercourses, including equitable and reasonable utilization, the obligation not to cause significant harm, and the duty to cooperate. Article 7 specifically requires states to take measures to prevent causing significant harm to other watercourse states. Article 12 mandates timely notification of planned measures that may have significant adverse effects.
No Harm Principle: Part of customary international law, this principle obligates states to prevent, reduce, and control the risk of causing significant harm to other states.
India’s Dam Releases and Legal Implications
India’s release of dam water without proper notification to Bangladesh can be seen as a violation of these international principles. By not providing timely warnings, India may be failing to uphold the No Harm Principle and the obligations under the UN Watercourses Convention. Such actions can lead to significant harm, including flooding, which disrupts lives, agriculture, and infrastructure in Bangladesh.
Environmental and Social Impacts on Bangladesh
The release of dam water by India has several detrimental effects on Bangladesh:
Flooding: Sudden releases of water can cause severe flooding in downstream areas. This leads to the displacement of communities, loss of lives, and destruction of property.
Agricultural Damage: Floodwaters can inundate farmlands, destroying crops and affecting food security. The agricultural sector, a vital part of Bangladesh’s economy, suffers greatly from such events.
Infrastructure Damage: Floods can damage roads, bridges, and other infrastructure, leading to economic losses and hampering development efforts.
Health Risks: Flooding can lead to waterborne diseases, posing significant health risks to affected populations.
Conclusion
The release of dam water by India, without proper notification to Bangladesh, raises serious legal and ethical concerns under international water law. Such actions can cause significant harm, violating principles of equitable and reasonable utilization and the obligation to prevent harm. Effective transboundary water management requires cooperation, communication, and adherence to international legal frameworks to ensure that the rights and needs of all affected countries are respected.

India deliberately opened the dams without any warnings. Shame on India.

Opening of dam is India's rights but without pre warning is bad
