India and Bangladesh have commenced joint water measurements on the Padma and Ganga rivers as the Ganges Water Sharing Treaty approaches its expiration in December 2026. Indian officials, led by Saurabh Kumar from the Central Water Commission, and a Bangladeshi team are collaborating to monitor water levels at designated points from January 1 to May 31, recording data every ten days. The initiative emphasizes security for the Indian contingent, reflecting the bilateral importance of water resource management amid regional tensions. This collaboration not only aims to uphold treaty obligations but also sets the stage for vital discussions on its renewal, underlining the significance of transboundary water governance in South Asia.
