Routledge - The International Law of Transboundary Groundwater

Explore the complex legal landscape of shared water resources with The International Law of Transboundary Groundwater Resources. Part of the Earthscan Water Text series, this book offers a detailed review of how international law applies to transboundary aquifers and groundwater systems. The text focuses on recent legal developments and the emerging frameworks for managing transboundary aquifers. It examines the practical application of law through the work of the UN International Law Commission, the UN Economic Commission for Europe, and the International Law Association. By looking at the practice of states, readers gain a clear understanding of how these legal principles function in real-world scenarios. This resource uses an interdisciplinary approach to bridge the gap between legal theory and physical reality. It provides the scientific hydro-geological foundation necessary to understand how law and policy apply to transboundary water systems. This makes it an essential resource for professionals and students studying international law, water management, and environmental policy.
