Title: The Danube: a case study of sharing international waters
Abstract: The human, environmental, and political security of international basins, which host about half of the world's population, is threatened by the lack of effective mechanisms for managing them. Integration of water management practices is increasingly promoted as the way ahead. Constraints to development of effective mechanisms for integrated water management of international basins, however, abound. The case study presented in the paper highlights some of the major challenges to the realization of the promising potential of international law and joint environmental monitoring as mechanisms for ensuring the equitable and reasonable use of international waters. The study focuses on the implications of the legal and technical cooperation between Hungary and Slovakia for the resolution of a water management dispute between the two countries which arises and revolves around the environmental consequences of a joint water regulation project on the Danube.
