PART I: FUNDAMENTALS OF RIVER RIVALRY IN HIMALAYAN ASIA -- Water Insecurity in Himalayan Asia -- Challenge of Climate Change in Himalayan Asia -- PART II: SOURCES OF TRANS-BOUNDARY RIVER DISPUTES -- Damming the Rivers-I: The Irrigation Imperative -- Damming the Rivers-II: The Energy Imperative -- Damming the Rivers-III: The Diversion Imperative -- PART III: ALTERNATIVES TO WATER CONFLICT -- Cooperative River Basin Management -- Water Technology Innovation -- PART IV: THE FUTURE OF HIMALAYAN ASIA'S RIVERS -- Conclusion: Swimming Against the Tide.

Focusing on transboundary river systems and their basins, the authors explore the fresh water crisis of Himalayan Asia. While the region hosts some of the world's mightiest rivers, it is also home to rapidly modernizing, increasingly affluent, and demographically multiplying societies. This combination ensures both the depletion of water resources and the increase in disputes over ownership of transboundary river waters. In a thorough investigation, based on extensive field research across Asia, the authors examine how these disputes impact the present and future interstate relations of this key region.
