China, India and other countries in Asia face urgent water challenges and won’t have sufficient water to develop further while ensuring food and energy security, according to a new report. The Hindu Kush Himalayas (HKH) is the source region for the 10 major rivers that supply 40% of Asia’s population across 16 countries. With climate change already threatening the upper watersheds and river flow, governments should be looking at less water-intensive and pollution-free development, according to the report “No Water, No Growth – Does Asia have enough water to develop?”.
