Summary: "Rivers have long been the lifeblood of civilizations, shaping landscapes, sustaining livelihoods, and serving as silent witnesses to the unfolding narratives of human history. From the Indus to the Ganges, the Nile to the Amazon, rivers have defined communities, facilitated commerce, and inspired cultural and spiritual traditions. However, in an era marked by climate change, geopolitical tensions, and environmental degradation, rivers are increasingly sites of contestation— over access, governance, and rights. The interplay of social currents, legal tides, and ecological imperatives calls for a multidisciplinary approach to understanding and managing these vital water bodies. Rivers Unbound: Exploring Social Currents, Legal Tides, and Stories of Flow emerges from the International Conference on Rivers 2024, where scholars, policymakers, legal experts, environmentalists, and community advocates convened to engage in critical discourse on the challenges and possibilities of river governance."--
