Hydro Politics And Water Wars In South Asia

Water is not just a resource in South Asia; it is a source of life, conflict, and immense political power. In this critical Revised & Updated Edition, Iqtidar H. Siddiqui provides an urgent and comprehensive analysis of the "water wars" shaping the future of Pakistan and the entire region.

More Than a Crisis - A Political Battlefield
This book moves beyond technical discussions of water scarcity. It reveals the hydro-political forces that prevent rational management of the Indus River Basin, both internationally between nations and domestically within Pakistan. Siddiqui argues that politics, as much as climate change, is driving the country toward a potential water disaster.
