Research
and Projects
Atlas of International Freshwater Agreements:
Contains an historical overview of international river basin management; a detailed listing of more than 400 international freshwater agreements; and a collection of thematic maps.
Case Studies - Water Conflict Resolution
Brief summaries of the processes of conflict resolution for 14 case studies of transboundary dispute resolution are offered here for comparative purposes.
Digitized inventory of current and historical international river basins
A Geographic Information System (GIS) of international river basins and their riparian countries, for the years 1948-2000.
Basins at Risk
The Basins at Risk project (BAR) addressed a series of overarching gaps in research on freshwater resources and international conflict by providing a quantitative, global scale exploration of the relationship between freshwater resources and conflict.
Indigenous Water Conflict Resolution Methods
The Basins at Risk project (BAR) addressed a series of overarching gaps in research on freshwater resources and international conflict by providing a quantitative, global scale exploration of the relationship between freshwater resources and conflict.
Hydropolitical Vulnerability and Resilience along International Waters
A five-part series of continental reports focused on the hydropolitical
vulnerability and resilience along international waters. It provides a
comprehensive assessment of hydropolitical vulnerability throughout the
world, along with treaty information, cooperative agreements and
pertinent basin and regional maps.
Regional Water Governance Benchmarking Project (ReWaB)
ReWaB is a study of water governance capacity in five Middle East North Africa Region (MENA) countries: Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Turkey, and Oman. Along with a collection of searchable legal and policy documents from each of the countries the project has also included workshops in the MENA region, and will provide a framework for assessing water governance in each country and the region.
Mapping the Resilience of International River Basins to Future Climate Change-Induced Water Variability
The World Bank commissioned a report to investigate interactions and problems involved with climate change and related water variability and the capacity of transboundary water resource management. The results of the report reveal significant differences in both vulnerability to climate change-induced water variability and adaptation capacity across river basins.
