Routledge International Watercourses Law in the Nile River Basin - Routledge

Explore the complex legal framework governing the Nile River, a vital water source spanning eleven sovereign states across Africa with a combined population of 422.2 million people. This Routledge book examines the multifaceted legal regulation of the Nile, reconstructing its legal and historical origins whilst addressing over a century of conflicting claims to water utilisation rights. The work provides essential analysis of how domestic, industrial, and agricultural water needs are balanced across the basin through international watercourses law, offering scholars, policymakers, and legal professionals comprehensive insight into the geopolitical and environmental challenges of transboundary water governance in one of the world's most strategically important river systems.
