Punjab in Pakistan depends on the Indus River system and that gets a good chunk of its water from glacial melt in the Himalayas in Kashmir.

From the time of partition and standstill agreement the water disputes from Kashmir is deeply entwined in the conflict.

Hydrological importance of Himalayas for all three countries and others in the region cannot be overstated .
