Note

Water sharing is continuous and seasonal rather than a one-time delimitation. That distinction explains why legal settlement of land and sea boundaries did not extend to rivers. The Land Boundary Agreement, 1974, ratified through the 100th Amendment, 2015, exchanged enclaves and adverse possessions, ending a dispute carried from Partition. A maritime boundary was fixed by arbitral award in 2014, which India accepted. The Ganga Waters Treaty, 1996 shares Farakka flows for thirty years; a Teesta agreement drafted in 2011 was not signed. Connectivity has deepened through restored rail links, inland waterway transit, and the Maitri Setu bridge.
