By Jacques Ganoulis, Alice Aureli, Jean Fried
In response to a world symposium addressing a key factor in international improvement, this reference comprises either the newest methodologies for and sensible examples of powerful administration of transboundary water assets. Its multidisciplinary strategy combines hydrology and environmental technological know-how with monetary and political methods, in accordance with new UNESCO and european strategies, that have been formulated and applied with the lively involvement of all 3 editors.
through delivering a theoretical framework in addition to plentiful case reports from southern Europe, Africa, Asia and South the US, this guide offers hydrologists, geologists, engineers and decision-makers with all of the wisdom they wish for his or her day-by-day paintings.

This multidisciplinary approach should be supported by existing practical examples, provided by UNESCO-sponsored institutions such as ISARM, WHYMAP and IGRAC. These institutions identify the many internationally shared aquifers, and also those within a nation state that may have regional impacts, but are not necessarily managed under international law or treaties. 1. 5 Conclusions Multidisciplinary capacity building means the training of personnel willing and able to communicate and work as a team with specialists of disciplines different from their own.
40% of the worlds population lives within these watersheds; 45% of the total land surface of our planet lies in this area; 263 major internationally shared basins are reported; approximately one-third of the 263 transboundary basins are shared by more than two countries; 145 countries have territory within transboundary river basins; 21 countries lie entirely within one transboundary river basin; more than 95% of the territory of 12 countries lies within one or more transboundary basins; 19 basins involve five or more different countries.
What methodology is available for integrating different collaborative models of TWRM? How could potential conflicts in sharing transboundary waters be transformed into collaborative actions? In this practical guide, different collaborative models and TWRM tools are identified and explained, not just theoretically or conceptually but through specific case studies from around the world. These case studies are grouped together in such a way that the wide range of tools available to effectively explain, address, assess, understand and resolve TWRM problems in the real world become apparent.
