Transboundary Water Law

Transboundary Water Law refers to the legal principles that govern the use and management of water resources shared by two or more countries. It aims to promote cooperation and prevent conflicts over rivers, lakes, and aquifers that cross borders. These laws establish rights and responsibilities for water use, ensure equitable distribution, and protect the environment. Key frameworks include treaties and agreements that address issues like water allocation, pollution control, and conservation efforts. Effective transboundary water management is essential for sustaining ecosystems, supporting communities, and enhancing regional stability.
