Ganges Strategic Basin Assessment

The objective of the Ganges Strategic Basin
Assessment (Ganges SBA) is to build knowledge
and promote an open, evidence-based dialogue on
the shared opportunities and risks of cooperative
management in the basin. It is hoped that this will
lead to greater cooperation in the management of
this shared river system, beginning with a shift from
information secrecy to information sharing. The key
feature of this regional research is the development
of a set of nested hydrological and economic basin
models, along with targeted analyses on social
vulnerability and climate change. The mosaic
of information produced using these tools and
approaches can be used to examine alternative
scenarios across a range of possible Ganges futures.
