International Journal of Water Resources Development, 2021, vol. 37, issue 3, 424-438

Abstract: The BBIN (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India and Nepal) region was a well-integrated one till 1947, when new political boundaries were drawn. Since then, political and emotional reasons have stood in the way of regional cooperation even on mutually beneficial areas like water and energy security. But the increasing awareness among the people of the importance of regional cooperation provides an opportunity to move forward on critical issues. The article explores the current water and power situation, potential for cooperation among BBIN countries, and policy steps needed to strengthen cooperation in these areas for the benefit of the people of these countries.
