As part of the Indus Waters Treaty signed in 1960, India gained rights to the waters of the Ravi, Sutlej and Beas rivers, while Pakistan, in addition to waters of the above three rivers within Pakistan and some monetary compensation, received the rights to develop theJhelum, Chenab and Indus river basins through construction of the Indus Basin Project. Until 1967, the entire irrigation system ofPakistan was fully dependent on unregulated flows of the Indus and its major tributaries. The agricultural yield was very low for a number of reasons, the most important being a lack of water during critical growing periods. This problem stemmed from the seasonal variations in the river flow due to monsoons and the absence of storage reservoirs to conserve the vast amounts of surplus water during those periods of high river discharge.

The Mangla Dam is located in the Mirpur District of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), which is administered by Pakistan. The dam was constructed in the 1960s as part of the Indus Waters Treaty between India and Pakistan, intended for irrigation and hydroelectric power generation. While it is situated in an area claimed by both India and Pakistan, it is currently under Pakistani administration. Therefore, the dam is considered part of Pakistan's infrastructure and property.
