The term “Agricultural Use” refers to use of water for only irrigation purposes without including household and public gardens.

In case of flood each party will avoid, as far as possible, damage to the other party.

The Indus Water Treaty will not prevent either India or Pakistan from building the following.
Drainages
River Training
Conservation of soil against erosion
Dredging or Removal of stones or sand from river beds.
Both Pakistan and India will make effort to maintain natural channels of the rivers.

India and Pakistan agree to regularly exchange data of water flow at all observation sites.

If any of the two parties, Pakistan or India, plan to construct a water obstruction, which it thinks will impact flow of water to the other party, it needs to inform the other party about its plans, and share relevant data.

India and Pakistan will each create a permanent post of Commissioner, and shall appoint to this post, as soon as the post is vacant, a higher ranking engineer competent in the field of hydrology and water use.
