摘要

The Ganges River rises in the Himalayan border regions of China, Nepal and India and flows 2,500 kilometers (km) to Bangladesh and the sea. Fed by a complex interplay of glacial waters, surface flows and groundwater resources, the Ganges basin has economic, cultural, social and religious importance for its more than 500 million inhabitants (Crow et al., 1995). For centuries, however, the utilization of water resources in the Ganges basin has been severely hampered by substantial seasonal variation in flows: the monsoon delivers about 80% of total annual rainfall in just three months of the year (mid-June through to mid-September) and the basin becomes drought-stressed during the dry season (Huda & Shamsul, 2001). As a result, large areas of the basin routinely suffer from both droughts and floods, resulting in significant human and socioeconomic losses. The allocation of the low flows of the Ganges during the dry season has been a major source of conflict between India and Bangladesh.
