Himanshu Thakar

Himanshu Thakar is a regional water resources expert associated with the South Asia Network on Dams, Rivers, and Peoples. He has extensively studied the complexities of water management in South Asia, particularly regarding the Indus River Basin. His insights highlight the challenges India faces in managing water resources amidst ongoing disputes with Pakistan, emphasizing the inadequacy of India's current infrastructure to effectively store and divert water. Thakar argues that the existing facilities primarily focus on hydroelectric power generation rather than substantial water storage, making it difficult for India to control water flow in times of conflict.
