Water treaties

Water treaties are agreements between countries or regions that share a water source, such as rivers or lakes. These treaties set rules for how water is used, distributed, and managed to prevent conflicts and ensure fair access for all parties involved. They often include provisions for sharing water quantities, protecting ecosystems, and resolving disputes peacefully. Essentially, water treaties help neighboring jurisdictions cooperate and sustainably manage shared water resources, balancing human needs, environmental health, and regional stability.
