Approximately 40 per cent of the world’s population live in river basins that cross national borders. Transboundary river basins cover nearly one half of the earth’s land surface and account for about 60 per cent of global freshwater flow. These basins link populations and create hydrological, social and economic interdependencies between countries. Transboundary water cooperation is therefore
