Asian International Waters : From Ganges-Brahmaputra to Mekong (Water Resources Management Series)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In the twenty-first century, water will be the most critical resource, not oil. In Asia, many local sources of water have already been developed, leaving those shared by two or more countries. Asian International Waters, the fourth book in the Water Resources Management Series, is a collection
of ten papers detailing the potential for development of three major Asian rivers--Ganges-Brahmaputra, Mekong, and Salween. According to the contributors, if these rivers are developed on a sustainable basis, benefits to the people of the area will be enormous, but unoptimal development could cause
serious regional tension. The issues and questions raised will be of interest to anyone who works in international relations or water management, including policy makers.
