Ganges Strategic Basin Assessment : A Discussion of Regional Opportunities and Risks

The objective of the Ganges Strategic Basin Assessment (Ganges SBA) is to build knowledge and promote an open, evidence-based dialogue on the shared opportunities and risks of cooperative management in the basin. It is hoped that this will lead to greater cooperation in the management of this...
