Is that news legitimate? Unless authenticity of news is verified , it cannot be for sure./ Internet provides various views of a single topic and judging a whole nation based on one information source( which might and might not be biased ) is not right -

IF India is working outside the Indus Water Treaty, then it needs to be addressed. But shouldn't Pakistan first make sure that it does not waste the water that it does get. The following extract is from an article in the Associated Press:
Even Islamabad acknowledges it needs massive repairs to its enormous water irrigation network, which stretches across thousands of miles (kilometers). About 80 percent of the country's farmers are dependent on irrigation to nourish their crops.
The original article is available at : #-Link-Snipped-#
Experts say only about one-third of the water that flows through the country's irrigation system actually reaches the crops.
"It's just dirt ditches most of the time," said Dr. Daanish Mustafa, a geographer at King's College, London who has studied Pakistan's water use and said simply lining the irrigation channels to decrease leakage could result in enormous water savings.
