Creator:: Zentner, Matthew A.
Abstract:: Increased variability of rainfall and flow from climate change has the potential to stress existing transboundary water sharing agreements and make meeting the needs of all riparians difficult. Water treaties have been theorized as valuable tools for mitigating conflict in times of climate stress, but the relationship between the design...
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Creator:: Blankespoor, Brian
Abstract:: The Wadi el Far'a catchment is a tributary of the Jordan River located entirely the West Bank in the Middle East. Increasing population in the catchment, with economic development, is likely to increase water needs in this water region. In the water management of the region, agriculture is an essential...

Creator:: Matsumoto, Kyoko
Abstract:: Despite their significance, physical interactions between surface and groundwater have largely been ignored in international water law. While surface water has been given considerable attention as a transboundary natural resource, groundwater has not received the same recognition. International legal doctrines regarding water, such as the 1997 United Nations Convention on...

Creator:: Pearson, Cathy D.
Abstract:: A healthy river ecosystem is the definitive mark of success in international water quality planning and management, but until the world's international river basins achieve this kind of success, there must be other means to assess progress. In this paper, a theoretical background establishes the complexities inherent in water quality...

Creator:: Yoffe, Shira
Abstract:: In the policy literature and the popular press, the issues of water and conflict are being raised together with increasing frequency. Geographic, international relations, and environmental security theories speculate on the linkages between geographic features, natural resources, spatial relationships, and war or acute conflict. Little quantitative or global-scale research exists,...

Creator:: Wise, Daniel R.
Abstract:: As part of a study to determine the history and potential for conflict in international freshwater basins, an estimate was made of the location of arable and irrigable land in the world. Knowledge about the world's arable and irrigable land was desired since this information could be an indicator of...

Creator:: Fiske, Gregory J.
Abstract:: The Geographic Information System (GIS) is an invaluable tool in manipulating and interpreting world scale datasets. In recent years it has become the standard link between water resource study and the ever-increasing numbers of high quality data sets. This paper describes the use of Geographic Information Systems for gathering and...
