This book establishes a framework for defining transboundary water cooperation and develops a methodology for evaluating its effectiveness, contributing to more effective and, therefore, successful cooperation processes. https://sharedwaterslab.org/about daily 0.75 2025-02-17 https://sharedwaterslab.org/home daily 1.0 2025-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622122e423028a3f76156b45/a930504f-7de5-49cb-90bb-940b2931eb48/four-books-mockup-standing-on-a-wooden-table-a17418+%281%29.jpg Home - Defining Effective Transboundary Water Cooperation With the increasing focus on transboundary cooperation as a part of the Sustainable Development Goal Framework, there is global recognition of transboundary water cooperation as a tool for improved governance and management of transboundary surface and groundwaters.

Improving access to freshwater and improving ecosystem health requires management and governance processes that embody effective water cooperation at all scales that supports the processes, outcomes, and relationships needed. Our goal is to promote and encourage effective cooperative processes over shared waters that enhance sustainability and equitability among users. Within the Shared Waters Lab, our projects support this overarching goal and explore the complexities of managing, governing, and cooperating over freshwater resources that transect (or define) boundaries through two main dimensions and overarching lines of research. We use mixed methods with various tools, including policy and event analysis, geospatial
