It explains the background and legal regimes of these international rivers in the context of the serious challenges to the water resources of the subcontinent posed by significant population increases, urbanization, industrialization, and environmental degradation. International lawyers and natural resource specialists will find this book to be useful and informative."--BOOK JACKET.
