The traditionally discussed factors of conflict over transboundary waters such as riparian structure and associated privileges/disadvantages, seasonal availability, and regional hierarchy are fairly stable for long period of time to explain the dynamics of water resource access and utilization.Interactions between India and Bangladesh over transboundary waters has acquired a dynamic nature on the account of nation state formation, international relations, domestic political processes, demands of water security and differential negotiation tools to protect their respective interests.
In recent times India and Bangladesh have demonstrated growing maturity over tenets of equitable sharing of transboundary water that has considerable significance for inter and intrastate water dispute resolution in the region.
