JVS/GWP Nepal highly appreciates the contribution of the study team Mr. Surya Nath Upadhyay, Mr. Prakash Gaudel and Ms. Monica Maharjan. JVS/GWP Nepal also acknowledges the contribution from Mr. Tejendra G.C and Ms. Neha Basnet during the preparation of this publication. Jalsrot Vikas Sanstha/GWP Nepal 3 Executive Summary The link between water and conflict is complex and real. Water with its property as a common pool resources and economic good has been the ground for the disputes arising in terms of its accessibility and uses. There has been a case where water dispute has stimulated civil defiance, various acts of sabotage, and even violent protest. Water has no substitute. For that reason, the tension arises with the increasing economic growth and urbanization. The conflict regarding the use of water has materialized over different industries and communities at the National and Sub- national level. In this backdrop, study was carried out by JVS/ GWP Nepal to access the state of conflict on water resources and benefit sharing in Marsyangdi River Basin. It has also attempted to evaluate cooperative relationship between developers and local communities in relation to benefit sharing. To carry out the study, primary information was collected mainly through the stakeholder consultations and the site observation. -
