More than half the world’s population depends upon water resources shared by more than one country. This interconnection requires planning and collaboration beyond national boundaries. The Handbook deals in successive sections with the concepts of cooperation, governance, information systems, participation, planning and financing. It considers the specific challenges related to inland waterways, major water infrastructure, ecosystems and climate change highlighting the importance of capacity development as a foundation for transboundary cooperation. Clear instruction on how to use this handbook, key concepts, definitions and examples of transboundary IWRM implementation from around the world are provided.
