Urban Mountain Waterscapes in Leh, Indian Trans-Himalaya : The Transformation of Hydro-Social Relations, Paperback / softback Book

Urban Mountain Waterscapes in Leh, Indian Trans-Himalaya : The Transformation of Hydro-Social Relations Paperback / softback

Part of the Advances in Asian Human-Environmental Research series

Paperback / softback

Description

The city of Leh is located in the high mountain desert of Ladakh in the Indian Himalayas and access to water has always been limited there.

In recent years, the town has experienced high rates of urbanisation on the one hand, and tourist numbers have increased exponentially on the other, which has implications for the water supply of the people living there.

Through several years of on-site research, challenges on various levels were documented and current governance approaches were analysed.

This research forms the basis for future approaches to sustainable development.
