Abstract
The Hindu-Kush-Himalayan region was the main source of rivers providing water for civilizations in the past. Rivers, which continue to flow today through sixteen Asian countries. A resource, that is essential for people’s livelihoods and for the preservation of the environment. For the protection of these rivers, a multilaterally agreed set of water management principles and rules must be followed, and a sustainable equilibrium must be found between different aims and interests. The unilateral imposition of a single nation’s determination based on its dominant position on water sources and capacity to press nations in weaker stances is not conductive to the needed environmental preservation and sustainable development.
