Farakka Barrage is a
barrage across the Ganges River, located in the Indian state of West Bengal, ) from the border with Bangladesh. Construction was started in 1961 and completed in 1975. .The feeder canal from the barrage to the Bhagirathi-Hooghly River is
about 25 miles (40 km) long. The
barrage was built to divert water from the
Ganges River into the Hooghly River during the dry season,. The
Hooghly River divides Murshidabad and Malda districts of West Bengal. Bangladesh and India have had many debates about how the Farakka
Barrage cuts off Bangladesh's water supply and how to share the water. Right
from the beginning, this created a concern for Bangladesh as it constitutes the
low-lying part of Gangotri. After the completion of the barrage at the end of
1975, it was agreed to run it with specified discharges for a period of 41 days
from 21 April to 31 May during the remaining period of the dry season of 1975
under an accord announced as a joint press release on 18 April 1975. But after
the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on 15 August 1975, relations between
the two countries became greatly strained and India continued to withdraw water
even after the agreed period. In 1976, Bangladesh went to the United
Nations and lodged a formal protest against India with the General Assembly of
The United Nations, which adopted a consensus statement on November 26, 1976.
Talks between the two countries were resumed in December 1976. No consensus was
reached.
Twenty years
later, in 1996, a 30-year agreement was signed. It did not contain any
guarantee clause for minimum amounts of water to be supplied to Bangladesh, nor
were future hydrological parameters taken into account. As a result, the
agreement failed to provide the expected result. Negotiations continue to
the present today.
