Water Sharing — Amendments

Amendment	Year	Description	Impact
42nd Amendment	1976	Added 'water' to the Concurrent List (List III) of the Seventh Schedule, giving both Union and state governments legislative powers over water resources. However, inter-state rivers and international treaties remain primarily under Union jurisdiction.	This amendment clarified the constitutional framework for water governance but also created potential conflicts between Union and state authorities in international water negotiations, as evidenced in the Teesta River dispute where state opposition constrains central government treaty-making.
