Nepal and India by geography unless torn apart by tectonic disturbance/movement, will have to live together and engage with each other in many spheres–social, economic and political. Of all the engagements two countries have to deal with, water resource is the most important one but one that has remained a very sensitive issue. This is because water is the most important natural resource that Nepal possesses, although most of it is yet to be exploited. Because ofthe very size and topography, Nepal needs to cooperate with her southern neighbours for getting optimum benefit from her more than 6,000 rivers. Nepalese professional perspective on Nepal-India water relationship Historical perspective and evaluation of relationship Exhaustive coverage from inundation to hydropower to India river linking Personal reflection of those involved in development of Nepal-India water relationship Non-governmental policy input on Nepal-India water relationship INDICE: Publisher's note.
