摘要: The Hindu Kush Himalayas are called the water towers of Asia as they source 10 major rivers and have largest snow ice deposits outside two poles. Water emanating from HKH provides food, energy ecosystem services to up 1.3 billion people. Climate change socio-economic demographic changes put unprecedented pressure on these resources, leading uncertain supplies, increased demands higher risks extreme events like floods droughts. eight articles in this special issue highlight various dimensions Himalayan resources by focusing both physical social science aspects management.
