  abstract = {{T}he {H}indu {K}ush {H}imalayas are called the water towers of {A}sia as they are the source of 10 major rivers and have the largest snow and ice deposits outside the two poles. {W}ater emanating from the {HKH} provides food, energy and ecosystem services to up to 1.3 billion people. {C}limate change and socio-economic and demographic changes have put unprecedented pressure on these water resources, leading to uncertain supplies, increased demands and higher risks of extreme events like floods and droughts. {T}he eight articles in this special issue highlight various dimensions of the {H}imalayan water resources by focusing on both physical and social science aspects of water management.},
