Transboundary Rivers

Transboundary rivers are water bodies that flow across or originate in more than one country. They connect nations, making cooperation essential for their management and use. Because these rivers impact water supply, ecosystems, agriculture, and hydropower, countries sharing them need to work together to ensure fair and sustainable use. Disputes can arise over sharing water rights or pollution control, so effective agreements and cooperation are vital for maintaining healthy rivers and peaceful relations among nations.
