During the conference, the CM spoke extensively on the challenges Jammu and Kashmir faces in fully harnessing the potential of its rivers for generating hydroelectric energy particularly due to the Indus Water Treaty which allows only limited use of water for run-of-the-river projects but does not permit storage of water in respect of three important river systems - Indus, Chenab and Jhelum, flowing in the river-rich Jammu and Kashmir.
