News sources report that Afghanistan is considering new plans to build new dams; a move that is said to be aimed at controlling the flow of water to Pakistan and could lead to increased regional tensions.
These developments are taking place at a time when there is no formal agreement between Afghanistan and Pakistan on the sharing of water resources.
So far, neither country has officially responded to these reports, but analysts have warned of escalating water disputes in the region and say that such measures may lead to further complications in bilateral relations
