Recent observations from India, China, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bhutan indicate rapid shrinkage of glaciers. Such tendency has been observed both in large debris-covered and small debris-free glaciers, with varying response times and sensitivity to climate. There is a growing consensus that regional cooperation on the conjunctive use of great rivers of south Asia, particularly the Ganges, the Indus and the Brahmaputra, will be essential to solve regional water problem.http://ks360352.kimsufi.com/redbooks/a274/iahs_274_417.pdf
