Description
The purpose of this paper is to highlight riparian conflicts in Kosi basin of Indo-Nepal region. The paper focuses on characteristics of the basin, intensity of conflict, conflict minimization process, and areas of joint venture. It finds that institutional reform for minimum common governance (MCG) may yet lead to a sustainable solution. The paper proposes the modalities of MCG and its modus operandi and discusses plan appraisal, ex post evaluation, monitoring, and resource sharing. Planning by a single country may not solve this chronic problem.
