Indus is a river system that sustains communities in both countries India and Pakistan, which have extensively dammed the Indus River for irrigation of their crops and hydro-electricity systems. The river tributaries are Jhelum and Chenab rivers, which primarily flow into Pakistan while other branches—the Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej—irrigate northern India. Conflict in the basin started in 1947 when India stopped water flowing through its canals to Pakistan, forcing the later to approach international agencies for help. Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) was signed by both countries in 1960, giving exclusive rights over the three western rivers of the Indus river system (Jhelum, Chenab and Indus) to Pakistan, and over the three eastern rivers (Sutlej, Ravi and Beas) to India. Competing water demands and inadequate water availability for irrigation and other uses stress regional economy which leads to failing of legal and governance institutions. Water dispute in Indus River Basin (IRB) arose due to poor governance and lack of proper institutions to manage water between two stakeholders, which stressed the amount of water available in the basin. Changing climate worldwide and its effect on mountain snow-caps and glaciers have been exerting new set of challenges to the governance and institutions managing the waters of IRB. Based on the review of secondary literature and scenario analysis, this article exposes the inherent uncertainties and suggests governance solutions.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.

6. Indus River Basin System
• 21st largest river in the world in terms of annual flow
• 60% of Indus basin lies in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied
Kashmir (POK), 10% in Tibet, 25% in India and India-
Administered Kashmir, and 7% in Afghanistan
• Indus system is largely fed by the snows and glaciers of
the Himalayas, Karakoram and the Hindu Kush ranges
• 80% of water for Upper Indus Rivers comes from Himalayan
glaciers
• 25 amphibian species and 147 fish species of which 22 are
endemic
• Indus is the most important supplier of water resources to
the Punjab and Sindh plains

9. Competing Water Demands
& Transboundary Conflicts
• Water disputes between Punjab and Sind provinces during
British India
• Conflict in the basin started in 1947 when India stopped water
flowing through its canals to Pakistan
• Dispute over Salal dam was settled in 1978
• Controversy on the Wullar Barrage/ Tulbul Navigation project
and Kishanganga hydroelectric dams remains unsettled.
• Baglihar dam created severe conflicts, but the issue was
settled by recourse to Neutral Expert
• Recent Conflicts created around: 57-metre high Nimoo-Bazgo
dam in Leh (India); 42-metre high Chuttak dam on Suru river
(India-Kashmir); Tulbul Navigation Project in Indian-Kashmir
11. Transboundary Governance System
• Inter-Dominion Accord of May 4, 1948: required India to
release sufficient waters to Pakistani regions
• Pakistan wanted to take the matter to the International Court
of Justice but India refused
• In 1951, David E. Lilienthal, former chairman of Tennessee
Valley Authority, visited India and Pakistan.
• Lilienthal wrote an article with suggestions that Indus Basin
be treated, exploited, and developed as a single unit
12. Transboundary Governance System
• World Bank mediated from 1952 onwards, and Indus Waters
Treaty (IWT) was signed in September 1960
• IWT conferred rights over 3 western rivers of Indus river
system (Jhelum, Chenab and Indus) to Pakistan, and over 3
eastern rivers (Sutlej, Ravi and Beas) to India

14. Industrialization and its
Impacts on Water Resources
Causes
• Deforestation
• Industrialization on banks
• Urbanization
Effects
• Low agricultural production
• Westward course shifting
• sediment clogging
• Salt deposits
• Water pollution of rivers
15.
16. Industrialization and its Impacts on
Water Resources
Construction of Dams
• Both parties constructing on
the tributary rivers & streams
• Example: 401 projects on 5
river basins i.e. Satluj, Beas,
Ravi, Chenab & Yamuna
• Himalayas viewed as
storehouse of hydro power
• Many projects made the
tributaries and rivers non-
functional destroying the
water regimes and changing
local climate profiles
17. Industrialization and its Impacts on
Water Resources
Construction of Dams
• Run of the river schemes
are storage based diversion
schemes
• Water is diverted through
head race tunnel (HRT)
• Kilometers of river stretch
dried
• 80% of 35 projects in
North-Western Himalayas
have reservoirs or storage
component
18. Industrialization and its Impacts on
Water Resources
Construction of Dams
• Reservoirs induce anaerobic decomposition of biomass
thereby producing methane gas
• Methane stays longer in the environment and traps heat
• Methane has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 25 times
more than CO2.
• Accumulation of organic matter in the rivers risen the per
unit emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs)
19. Climate Change and its Impacts on
Water Resources
Changing Environments:
• Both countries have largely modified environments, where
dam and power projects have been built
• Submergence zones have significantly altered the local
geography and meteorology
• Urbanization across the mountains is also impacting local
climate regimes
• IRB is faced with major challenges due to population
growth, rapid urbanization and industrialization,
environmental degradation, unregulated utilization of the
resources, inefficient water use and poverty
20. Climate Change and its Impacts on
Water Resources
Changing Environments:
• Himalayan glacial system contains 116,180 km2 of ice.
• Himalayan glaciers provide the Indus with 70-80% of its
water
• IRB collectively provides water for about 1.3 billion people
• Climate change affects mountain snow-caps and glaciers
• Glacial vulnerability increases manifold
• Faster melting and depleting ice stock affecting the flow in
lean periods
21. Climate Change and its Impacts on
Water Resources
Changing Environments:
• Conflicting behaviour of glaciers, such as retreating,
advancing, and even surging
• Study of MoEF, India (May 2011) indicates almost 75% of
the glaciers have shown a retreat
• Changes in glaciers pose big challenge for hydrogeology
and water regimes
• Effects on hydropower generation and agricultural
production and consequently altering people’s livelihoods
22. Climate Change and its Impacts on
Water Resources
Changing Environments:
• Climate change will affect the temporal and spatial
availability of water resources
• The effects in the Indus basin though remain uncertain
• Glaciers in Karakoram region are mostly stagnating
• Glaciers in the Western, Central & Eastern Himalaya are
retreating.
• It stresses the uncertainty in future water availability for
the Indus basin
23. Climate Change and its Impacts on
Water Resources
Changing Environments:
• Snowfall decreasing in all mountain ranges
• Decrease in total seasonal snowfall of 280 cm over entire
Western Himalayas between 1988-89 and 2006-07
• Total rainfall may
increase in some areas
and decrease in others
• Water stress &
droughts or floods
• Decreasing trend of
annual rainfall (-29.7 to
-2.1 cm/100 years)
observed at Shimla
• Monsoon rainfall in all
northern mountainous
India has declined by
10% between 1844 and Declining trend of snowfall in North-Western
2006. Himalayas (adapted from Ray et al., 2011)
24. New Challenges to Governance System
• Climate change will
exacerbate the problems
of irregular and low flow in
Indus and its tributaries.
• Changing climates would
exert new set of
challenges to governance
and institutions managing
the waters of IRB.
• New troubles have started
raising challenges to the
IWT and transboundary
governance institutions
• Hence, fashioning an
adaptive governance
structure responsive to
contingencies of time and
situation requires changes
in conventional modes of
governance
25. New Challenges to Governance System
• Need for enhanced
cooperation in
irrigation, electricity
generation, flood
protection, and
ecosystem
maintenance
• Revisiting the IWT
terms
• Improving the scope
for effective
international
cooperation and
integrated resource
management
26. New Challenges to Governance System
• Article.VII of IWT requires
to share hydrological data,
but neither India nor
Pakistan publish
information on Indus flows
• It made difficult for public
interest groups, academic
analysts, stakeholders, or
even decision-makers in
other policy departments
in either country to
participate constructively
or contribute to policy
formation.
• Article.VII expressly
envisages the two states
could undertake
cooperative engineering
works, a possibility they
have never pursued.
