Title
UNESCO - Sharing Water, Sharing Benefits: Working Towards Effective Transboundary Water Resources Management
Abstract
There were 276 transboundary water basins in the world at last count, covering around
45 percent of the globe’s surface. Competition often arises between stakeholders over limited water
resources and many institutions lack the capacity to overcome conflicting approaches. These challenges
are further exacerbated by population growth, development, and climate change. As communities face
escalating threats to water scarcity, water managers, politicians, and engineers must work together to ensure
that water is managed in an integrated manner.
PCCP has worked towards anticipating and resolving water conflicts through training, technical assistance and
research since 2001. This workbook will compliment the educational materials that PCCP already provides
to decision makers and diplomats, water professionals, civil society members, educators, and post-graduate
students through training sessions and courses on conflict prevention and cooperation in international waters.
We hope that the workbook will advance local capacity for negotiation and conflict resolution, and thus increase
the likelihood of successful sharing of river basins and other water resources.
