The Ravi’s waters are used for irrigating large areas of land along its course. The Upper Bari Doab Canal, with headworks at Madhopur at the northern tip of the Indian Punjab state, was completed in 1878–79; it irrigates a large area east of the Ravi in India, and its distributary canals extend into Pakistan. The two countries had frequent disputes over the water before concluding the Indus Waters Treaty in 1960, which allocated the water of the Ravi to India, in exchange for which Pakistan received exclusive rights to the waters of the Indus and its western tributaries. The Lower Bari Doab Canal, completed in 1917, lies entirely in Pakistan. "Ravi River". Encyclopædia Britannica. Encyclopædia Britannica Online. Encyclopædia Britannica Inc., 2017.
