Transboundary water allocation in practice
Water allocation – how water is divided between two or more entities – is addressed at many levels; however, research and policy tend to focus on the national level. At the international level, the focus is more on how actors negotiate, less on how water is physically divided. This paper fills this gap by focusing on how and why water is allocated between states. We develop the Typology for Transboundary Water Allocation to catalogue surface and …
The financialization of rivers
The CDM funded hundreds of large hydropower dams in rivers at risk for conflict. • The Mekong Region received an inordinate amount of CDM funded dams. • This water blind climate change policy is increasing hydropolitical tensions. The Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is a key carbon offset scheme that underpins the global carbon market. This mechanism leaves out many other non-carbon considerations, including the impacts of the …
Water Conflicts
The transboundary nature of water may lead to conflicts regarding its use. Yet, entities, both national and international, are more likely to cooperate over water than to engage in conflict. While the risk of water conflict may be exacerbated by several factors, institutional capacity, in the form of treaties or river basin organizations, has been found to both prevent water conflict and enhance water cooperation.
The Spirit of Dialogue
Transboundary Unbound
This chapter calls for a new examination of the water conflict‒cooperation dialogue, beyond the traditional areas of water allocation and utilization. It calls for dialogue to incorporate two critical dimensions: (1) variability linked to climate change and the water-food-energy-environment nexus when framing parameters of water-related conflict; and (2) “unbounding” of analysis beyond political and geographical borders to include internal, regio…
Assessment of transboundary river basins for potential hydro-political tensions
A review of the evolution and state of transboundary freshwater treaties
Biophysical, Socioeconomic, and Geopolitical Vulnerabilities to Hydropower Development on the Nu River, China
Tullos, D. D., E. Foster-Moore, D. Magee, B. Tilt, A. T. Wolf, E. Schmitt, F. Gassert, and K. Kibler. 2013. Biophysical, socioeconomic, and geopolitical vulnerabilities to hydropower development on the Nu River, China. Ecology and Society 18(3): 16. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-05465-180316
Climate change and the institutional resilience of international river basins
In the existing 276 international river basins, the increase in water variability projected by most climate change scenarios may present serious challenges to riparian states. This research maps the institutional resilience to water variability in transboundary basins and combines it with both historic and projected variability regimes, with the objective of identifying areas at potential risk of future hydropolitical tension. To do so, it combs …
Managing and Transforming Water Conflicts
What is the one thing that no one can do without? Water. Where water crosses boundaries – be they economic, legal, political or cultural – the stage is set for disputes between different users trying to safeguard access to a vital resource, while protecting the natural environment. Without strategies to anticipate, address, and mediate between competing users, intractable water conflicts are likely to become more frequent, more intense, and more …
A Long Term View of Water and International Security 1
Water management is, by definition, conflict management. Postel (1999) describes the roots of the problem: Water, unlike other scarce, consumable resources, is used to fuel all facets of society, from biologies to economies to aesthetics and spiritual practice. Moreover, it fluctuates wildly in space and time, its management is usually fragmented, and it is often subject to vague, arcane, and/or contradictory legal principles. There is no such th…
Shared Waters
This review examines the state of conflict and cooperation over transboundary water resources from an environmental, political, and human development perspective. Although the potential for outright war between countries over water is low, cooperation is often missing in disputes over transboundary resources. This background chapter will ▪ Provide a brief overview of the nature of conflict and experiences of cooperation over transboundary resourc…
International Resource Conflict and Mitigation
Resource availability is frequently linked with historic and potential international conflict. Conventional wisdom holds that international resource conflict occurs in locations where growing resource demand and declining supplies are greatest. While relative scarcity is undoubtedly an element driving international resource dispute, a focus on supply and demand measures alone is insufficient to understand international conflict potential, because…
Conflict and Cooperation Over International Freshwater Resources
In this paper we seek to identify historical indicators of international freshwater conflict and cooperation and to create a framework to identify and evaluate international river basins at potential risk for future conflict. We derived biophysical, socioeco‐nomic, and geopolitical variables at multiple spatial and temporal scales from GIS datasets of international basins and associated countries, and we tested these variables against a database …
International waters
Despite the growing literature on water and conflict in international river basins, little empirical work has been done to bolster common conclusions which are so widely reported. In order to address this gap, we set out to assess all reported events of either conflict or cooperation between nations over water resources during the last 50 years and to use these events to inform the identification of basins at greatest risk of political stress in …
The geography of water conflict and cooperation
Studies on transboundary water conflict and cooperation generally consider interstate relations over shared water resources as distinct from intrastate relations. While connections have been made between international water relations and regional relationships in general, it is conceivable that international water conflict and cooperation may also be influenced by domestic water events and vice versa. This paper seeks to investigate the dynamics …

It is becoming acknowledged that water is likely to be the most pressing environmental concern of the next century. Difficulties in river basin management are only exacerbated when the resource crosses international boundaries.

The Reg…
Water, conflict and cooperation
This article addresses the question of whether water as a geographic feature enhances the likelyhood that a state would go to war. Over the past few decades, geopolitical literature on water's role in international conflict has increased, and the 1990s have seen a turn toward considering water in terms of cooperation, rather than conflict. Drawing on a vast literature on geography's role in international relations, and analysing key concepts of ‘…

Incorporating Equity into International Water Agreements
International Markets for Water and the Potential for Regional Cooperation
Hydropolitics Along the Jordan River
The underlying premise in this study is that the inextricable link between water and politics in the Jordan River watershed can be harnessed to induce ever increasing cooperation in planning and project implementation between otherwise opposed riparians, thus leading to peace in the region. The book begins with a detailed description of the watershed and how human interaction has altered its hydrography. This is followed by a comprehensive histor…
