10.2 Gandaki

The agreement (the Gandak Agreement, 1959; the 1964 amendment): the Western Narayani-Gandak's regime (the barrage at Valmiki Nagar — the barrage in Nepal's territory; the canals for India's UP-and-Bihar; Nepal's canals-and-power). The 1959 terms: the barrage-and-the canals (India's construction; the Nepal's-portion canals (the eastern-and-western distributaries)); the water's share (Nepal's agreed quantity — the 15,000-cusecs-type allocation: the dry-season's "paper water" critique (the promised flow's seasonal reality)); the power's craft (India builds the powerhouse — Nepal's free power units' lore (the ~19-million-units-type figure — the hedged citation)); the compensation faces (the lands-and-waterlogging). The 1964 amendment: the terms' adjustment (India's obligations clarified — the exchange-of-letters' refinements). The honest audit: the waterlogging-and-seepage (the canal-affected fields), the compensation's long- unresolved record, the paper-water's lesson — the Gandak as the second treaty's repetition of the Koshi pattern.
