The Indus Waters Treaty, though considered successful, faced numerous challenges. The Salal project encountered sedimentation issues due to design compromises. Disputes arose over the Kishanganga and Ratle projects, leading to international arbitration. The Tulbul project was abandoned due to Pakistan's objections. The Baglihar project's design was largely upheld by the World Bank, resolving the dispute.
