According to the draft, India and Bangladesh will share the water in the ratio of 52:48 with India keeping 400 cusec water in store every year. This ratio translates into diversion of 35,000 cusec water to Bangladesh every year, which Banerjee is objecting to. The CM contends that if Bangladesh is given more than 25,000 cusec every year, north Bengal would face a severe water crisis during the summer.
