Abstract
Millions of people in China and India rely on the Brahmaputra River for their daily necessities, but it also poses a constant concern. The lack of a water-sharing agreement between upper riparian nation China and lower riparian nations like India, combined with severe water stress due to climate change, has led to China's attempts to assert control over the river, which is perceived as a threat to India. This situation has the potential to escalate into a future water conflict between the riparian nations. Instead of promoting regional cooperation, the Brahmaputra River has become a problem that must be dealt with.
