A potential global catastrophe looms in South Asia as rapidly rising water demand collides with a diminishing resource on which at least 300 million people depend directly, warns a new book from UN University's Institute for Water, Environment and Health. Imagining Industan appeals to the three nuclear armed powers sharing the Indus River basin -- India, Pakistan and China -- and Afghanistan to cease decades of conflict and self-serving policies and begin working together as never before to manage the precious resource.
