What happens when a water-sharing agreement that's survived multiple wars suddenly hangs in the balance? This episode examines India's recent move to place the historic Indus Water Treaty "in abeyance" and the potential economic collapse it threatens for Pakistan's water-dependent economy.

We analyze how this diplomatic crisis could devastate Pakistan's agricultural sector (21% of GDP), cripple electricity generation, trigger food insecurity, and exacerbate an already fragile economic situation. With minimal water storage capacity and heavy reliance on the Indus river system, Pakistan faces unprecedented vulnerability.

Beyond the headlines, we explore the practical limitations of water control, long-term implications, and the broader context of climate change and regional water security challenges.
