Nimmi Kurian is an Associate Professor at CPR with particular expertise in the India-China water dialogue and transborder governance.

In this episode of the podcast, Kurian deconstructs the importance of the Brahmaputra for both countries; sheds light on the reasons for the tensions, and suggest ways forward for effective water management.
