River Basin Organizations (RBOs)

River Basin Organizations (RBOs) are collaborative entities formed by countries or regions that share a river basin to manage and coordinate the use, development, and protection of water resources within that basin. They aim to ensure sustainable and equitable distribution of water, prevent conflicts, and address shared challenges like pollution and flooding. RBOs facilitate communication among stakeholders, develop policies, and implement projects that benefit all users involved, promoting regional cooperation and transboundary water management for the health of the ecosystem and communities dependent on the river.
