Abstract
Bangladesh and India Sharing fifty-four trans-boundary rivers water that flows from India to Bangladesh. Bangladesh is mostly dependent on India for their water and has no control over the water shed management policy of the rivers. Being a smaller, weaker military and economy than India, Bangladesh cannot influence the watershed management policies and face floods and water scarcity, reducing yield production and fish productivity, an ecological imbalance in estuarine areas, saline water intrusion in the southwestern part of Bangladesh and reduced navigation. Water governance is the combination of the political, social, economic and administrative system, which manage the water resources and provide services in the different level of society. Based on the water governance definition the researchers find out the different stakeholder in the management of water governance and the lack of practices of the theoretical concept of water governance and try to indicate the possibilities of the better solutions (Conflict or cooperation) of this trans-boundary water conflicts between both countries. The paper also compared the present negotiation process with different kinds of modes of wicked problem in water resource management. The study recommends few suggestions to minimize the conflict over the utilization of trans-boundary water resources management for example, a hydro-community like EU water framework Directive that is based on the soft power of peer review rather than a penalizing measure.Int.

Sharing water of fifty-four transboundary rivers (Sood and Mathukumalli, 2011) that flows from India to Bangladesh is one of the major issues to resolve
Bangladesh is mostly dependent on India for their water and has no control over the water shed management policy of the rivers
Summary
Bangladesh and India are South Asian countries. Bangladesh shared 4094 km of land borders with India on three sides and the fourth side is opened with Bay of Bengal (Dutta, 2010). By considering the adverse impact of the plan to the riparian country, Bangladesh objected and the negotiation continued without any result (Kristian et al, 2013) The former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was unwilling to operate the Farakka barrage without the consent from Bangladesh but situation changed after the assassination of the Former Bangladesh President Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (Kristian et al, 2013). The recent Tipaimukh dam construction in the river Barak River of the Indian state of Manipur, Mizoram and Assam added a new fume to this long trans-boundary water conflict issues in both countries (Kristian et al, 2013).
