dc.description.abstractThe study describes the effects of regional hydropolitics on water management, focusing on three large engineering projects, the Farakka Barrage built by India on the Ganges River, and the Ganges-Kobodak Gorai River Restoration Projects in Bangladesh. The traditional livelihood strategies and local ecological knowledge of farming households in the community of Chapra, Kushtia District, Bangladesh is being displaced by a commoditized system created through government intervention. The human right to water is being systematically violated. Governance systems of Bangladesh and India are herein understood as ecocracies – highly centralized bureaucratic systems where resources are controlled by elite groups following neoliberal goals.en
