Ganga water is being shared at Farakka with Bangladesh.

The Farakka Barrage across the Ganges River in West Bengal is the point where India diverts water. The sharing of Ganga waters at Farakka has been a subject of dispute between India and Bangladesh. A treaty for sharing the Ganges water at Farakka was signed between the two countries in 1996.

The Farakka Barrage was constructed primarily to divert water into the Hooghly River to flush out sediment and keep the Kolkata Port navigable. The treaty with Bangladesh addresses the equitable sharing of water during the lean season.
