FIGURE 28.7 A river in the Himalayas. The government of India is proposing to divert water from some of the rivers flowing out of the Himalayas to provide more water for its citizens. However, rivers, such as this one flowing down from Mera Peak in Nepal, subsequently flow into Bangladesh, raising interesting questions regarding who owns the water.
