| Title | India-Bangladesh Transboundary Water Sharing Conflict: Emerging Principles of Cooperation on Shared Water Resources |
| Summary | The research study attempts to identify the present state of dispute s against the equitable share of international rivers and scope of various conflict resolution mechanisms as they exist in the existing bilateral mechanism between India and Bangladesh. Against this backdrop, the study focused on water allocation issues associated with the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna river system, particularly highlighting the issues concerning the sharing of the Ganges water and the river linking project proposed by upper riparian India that may turn as nightmare for down stream Bangladesh. Since international rivers concern the international community and each region may learn from the other, the study also analyzed the comprehensive framework of international law and also some regional instruments from the aspects of the equitable and reasonable water allocation and sustainable utilization of international water resources. The idea was to prepare the grounds for Bangladesh to argue against the unilateral plans of India over common rivers. Comparative study of the various institutional mechanisms set up for the different international river basins reflected the importance of effective institutional arrangements and concluded by stressing on cooperation among the Bangladesh, India and Nepal to utilize the potential opportunities of Eastern Himalayan Rivers . |
