| Summary/Abstract |
With no recognized political boundaries for international rivers, South Asia is trying hard to cope with the growing tension over trans-boundary water claims and frequently arising water conflicts (transboundary as well as domestic). History has it that political divisions created between riparian States have been the cause of contention of rights over river systems. Several country claims (on the right to use the ratio of surface water) are long pending to get resolved and many old claims have resurfaced.
