Bangladesh seeks renewal of Ganga water sharing treaty with India before Dec 12

Bangladesh is seeking to renew a key water sharing treaty with India concerning the Ganga River. This must be completed before the agreement expires on December 12. The existing treaty includes a guarantee clause for Bangladesh's water supply. This clause ensures that if the Ganges' flow at Farakka Barrage is low, Bangladesh still receives a minimum of 80% of its allocated share.
