Does water crisis lead to Indus Valley like civilization collapse & people migrating out ?
"Water security and water scarcity are completely different things," said Ray. "South Asia is water insecure in many ways, but it is not because of some actual, physical scarcity, per se. There are, of course, arid regions within some South Asian countries, but overall the region is not physically short of water resources. Therefore, we have to look at water security and insecurity in South Asia primarily as a resource management and governance problem."

Adeel added that South Asia is "one of the most water insecure regions of the world, in terms of both water availability and the impact it has on the health and well-being of its people."
Enormous inequality in South Asia drives the lack of access to water, said Ray, as well as sanitation injustice in the region. That inequality is a result of asymmetric power both among the countries in the region as well as within each of those countries.
