Notes
1. SOPPECOM is an Indian NGO engaged in, and actively supporting, research on the growing number of water conflicts caused by the rapid socio-economic transformations in South Asia. The Irrigation and Water Engineering Group and the Rural Development Sociology Group of WUR are cooperating with SOPPECOM in research on water rights. The authors of this editorial kindly acknowledge funding from the Wageningen University Interdisciplinary Research and Education Fund programme for the Pune conference co-organised by SOPPECOM and WUR.
2. Water quantity also encompasses problems of abundance of water, floods, and flood protection. We focus here on issues of access, use, claims and rights in situations of scarcity.
3. For issues of hydropower development in Nepal, see Dixit and Gyawali (Citation2010).
4. The research on which this case study is based was done by Pranita Bhushan Udas, with supervision by Margreet Zwarteveen.
