Viewing bridge from river bed

Had India been the only upper-riparian country, Himalayas been the only mountain range surrounding it and rest of the countries of the world been its’ lower-riparians, India would have withdrawn all the waters of all the rivers to deprive all the nations of their due water shares of transboundary rivers. To do so, flouting the law of treaties on watercourses, they could have constructed barrages like Farakka, dam like Tipaimukh and Fulertal or initiate scheme of interlinking rivers (ILR) to divert surplus northeast water to the scarce southern basins.
