Whether the Regional Cooperation of the Water Sharing Problems Are in Cold Storage

Abstract

The principal rivers of Bangladesh are the Ganges (Padma in Bangladesh), the Brahmaputra (Jamuna in Bangladesh), and the Meghna whose headstreams are the Surma and the Kushyara generated by the bifurcation of the Indian Barak River.  The Teesta flowing from Sikkim joins the Brahmaputra as a tributary.  The Brahmaputra joins the Padma as a huge tributary. Also, the Meghna joins the Padma as another tributary by definition. Indian and Bangladesh are riparian countries of these rivers.
