Transboundary Hydro-GovernanceFrom Conflict to Shared Management /[electronic resource] :by Jacques Ganoulis, Jean Fried. - 1st ed. 2018. - XI, 217 p. 93 illus., 71 illus. in color.online resource.

Part 1 Main Aspects of Transboundary Waters -- Chapter 1 Hydrology of internationally shared rivers and lakes -- Chapter 2 Hydrogeological characteristics of transboundary aquifers -- Chapter 3: Potential water conflicts and cooperation across political borders -- Part 2 Definition and Needs of an Effective Transboundary Water Governance -- Chapter 4 Water governance definitions and recent challenges -- Chapter 5 Transboundary water governance: analytical framework -- Chapter 6 Integrating technical, legal and institutional instruments -- Part 3 Transboundary Water Governance in Practice -- Chapter 7 Assessment and communication of benefits for promoting international cooperation -- Chapter 8 Global, regional and local legal and regulatory instruments: case studies -- Chapter 9 The role of international joint institutions: examples of application -- Part 4 Developing a Shared Vision -- Chapter 10 Negotiation, conflict resolution, communication and public participation -- Conclusion.

Attending water security is an important challenge and a major systemic risk humanity faces in the years to come. This is due to population increase, over-consumption of water, especially in agriculture, climate change and various forms of water pollution. The issue becomes more complicated in transboundary water catchments that cover almost half of the world’s land surface, with about 60% of global river flow and 40% of the world’s population. Also, in many parts of the planet, like Saharan Africa, population depends on groundwater resources located in transboundary aquifer systems. These facts illustrate the importance of the book's subject, which is the governance of transboundary waters, both surface and groundwater. The book is written by two distinguished scientists, who, having worked in various international institutions, like UNESCO, GEF, UNEP and at the European Commission, have both an extended expertise on how to bridge the gap between science and political decision-making, which is the main factor for an effective governance of water resources. What is new in the book is the integrated analysis of transboundary governance of both surface water and groundwater, as it occurs in reality. In current literature, groundwater is still often missing for the benefit of surface water or, on the contrary, it is treated separately from surface water. The most important feature of the book is to distinguish between the real and a "good" or an effective transboundary water governance and to provide practical tools, methodologies and examples for its implementation in the field. Published timely during 2018, the book will contribute to address successfully practical problems of governance of transboundary waters that represent a very important part of our precious fresh water resources.
