The river basins of South East Asia have been the subject of a
number of studies shedding light on the complexity of their
natural, political, social and economic issues. Although the
diversity of these studies and reports serves as a knowledge
base for the basins, one can rarely find a study that provides a
holistic view of the water-related vulnerabilities in the basins.

This report focuses on three major river basins in South Asia: the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna, the Indus and the Helmand.
