Conclusion (Zafar Adeel). 330 $aThis volume calls upon over a dozen Indus observers to imagine a scenario for the Indus basin in which transboundary cooperation over water resources overcomes the insecurity arising from water dependence and scarcity. From diverse perspectives, its essays examine the potential benefits to be gained from revisiting the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, as well as from mounting joint efforts to increase water supply, to combat climate change, to develop hydroelectric power, and to improve water management. The Indus basin is shared by four countries (Afghanistan, China, India, and Pakistan). The basin?s significance stems in part simply from the importance of these countries, three of them among the planet?s most populous states, one of them boasting the world?s second largest economy, and three of them members of the exclusive nuclear weapons club. However, the basin?s significance stems also from the great importance of the Indus waters themselves ? due especially to the region?s massive dependence on irrigated agriculture as well as to the menace of climate change and advancing water scarcity.  The ?Industan? this volume imagines is a definite departure from business as usual responses to the Indus basin?s emerging fresh water crisis. The objective is to kindle serious discussion of the cooperation needed to confront what many water experts believe is developing into one of the planet?s most gravely threatened river basins. It is thus both assessment of the current state of play in regard to water security in the Indus basin and recommendation about where to go from here. 410 0$aWater Security in a New World,$x2367-4008 606 $aWater pollution 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aHydrology 606 $aClimate change 606 $aWater quality 606 $aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35040 606 $aInternational Relations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912000 606 $aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000 606 $aHydrology/Water Resources$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/211000 606 $aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/313000 606 $aWater Quality/Water Pollution$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/212000 615 0$aWater pollution. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aHydrology. 615 0$aClimate change. 615 0$aWater quality. 615 14$aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution. 615 24$aInternational Relations. 615 24$aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management. 615 24$aHydrology/Water Resources. 615 24$aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts. 615 24$aWater Quality/Water Pollution. 676 $a363.7394 676 $a363.73946 702 $aAdeel$b Zafar$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWirsing$b Robert G$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136023903321 996 $aImagining Industan$92500544 997 $aUNINA
