Show answer

Answer: B. 1989

Explanation

Pakistan officially consented to the disputed barrage construction project during this year. Bilateral negotiations reached a breakthrough that allowed the water infrastructure project to proceed. Government officials finalized the agreement after extensive technical discussions regarding water usage. The infrastructure project involved complex engineering challenges along shared river water systems. Water resource management remains a critical issue for neighboring countries in South Asia. Treaties governing river flows require continuous dialogue between national engineering departments.

Consenting to infrastructure projects can significantly impact agricultural irrigation and power generation. Resolving water disputes prevents environmental tensions from escalating into broader political conflicts. International water treaties provide frameworks for negotiating fair usage among riparian states. Option A refers to an earlier period when negotiations were still deadlocked. Option C incorrectly points to a year after the formal consent was granted. Option D suggests the agreement was delayed until the early nineteen nineties.
