The headwaters of the Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna river basin span the Himalayas from the Gangotri glacier in the west to the tributaries of Yarlung Tsangpo/Siang, Lohit, Dibang and Subansiri in the east. This mega basin combining the three rivers is home to over one billion people living in the nation-states of India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and China.
