Abstract

This study addresses the complexity of transboundary water cooperation by exploring its different forms in the India-Bangladesh relationship. It also considers how dam releases from Indian rivers upstream affect flooding in Bangladesh. By now, the floods of 2024 were the worst on record in recent memory—brought about by erratic dam releases from India and exacerbated weather patterns resulting from climate change. The study examines hydrological datasets such as river discharge and rainfall patterns and the impacts of floods on land use, agricultural practices, and economic factors. It further evaluates the existing Ganges Water Treaty and proposes more effective flood risk management measures.
