Q

how do seasons affect the conflict in Kashmir

A

India has control over the upstream river so controls Pakistan’s water as well. In the summer Pakistan uses the water for farming but this is when India stores the water for hydroelectric power so Pakistan goes into drought. In the winter the reservoirs fill up and flood Pakistan. The demand for water is higher now due to the growing population and the source of water is depleting due to global warming
