    In the ever-evolving landscape of agricultural water resources management, a pressing imperative exists to foster inclusivity and sustainability. This requires a paradigm shift in our approach centered around the principles of Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI). This policy brief delves into the intricate nexus of agriculture, water, and GEDSI, presenting a comprehensive overview of why and how these principles should be seamlessly integrated across all stages of the project cycle. By weaving together empirical case studies, best practices, and strategic insights, the brief aims to guide practitioners toward creating agricultural water resource initiatives that not only stand resilient in the face of challenges but also honor the rights and needs of every stakeholder.

But in addition it contains the relevant tables and maps, and a regional synopsis emphasizing the particular characteristics of this large and diverse region. It also analyses the changes that have occurred since the first survey in 1999. Finally it gives a more detail ed description of four transboundary river basins in the region, highlighting the different levels of cooperation and the agreements between countries located in the same river basin: the Ganges?Brahmaputra?Meghna basin, the Indus basin, the Mekong basin and the Salween basin.
