Understanding Transboundary Rivers Conflict and Cooperation

In a world facing a growing water crisis conflicts regarding water sharing and environmental issues are expected to grow especially in transboundary river basins where 40% of the world''s population lives. This book represents one of the first attempts to bring together methodologies and analytical tools from socio-economic international policy engineering and water management specialists dealing with transboundary water resources. This book will appeal to professionals involved in the various aspects of transboundary river basin co-operation both on strategic and operational levels but also to the academic community concerned with the study of transboundary river basin or water management. It will also be an important source for graduate students in (transboundary) river basin management.
