Water and sustainable development

We have, over the last few days, been inundated with news about destruction being wrought by the Koshi River in Nepal and Bihar.

Our domestic electronic media has also telecast reports of Teesta, Brahmaputra and the Dharla rivers crossing danger marks and marooning more than a quarter of a million people inside Bangladesh.
