Sharing the Jordan River Basin + Aquifers Sharing the Jordan River Basin + Aquifers
Who gets what water, when, where and how?
• 5 riparians: Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine
• Unequal allocation and utilisation of water resources

Jordan Valley: Example of Water conflictJordan Valley: Example of Water conflict• Several conflict events (militarised/armed)/Very limited cooperation
• Asymmetric power relations among riparians
• Jordan Basin: Extreme case of water-related conflict

Water AgreeementsWater Agreeements
• Formal negotiations (bilateral or multilateral)
• Can be specific or a framework
• Based on principles or needs
• Can [or not] include water allocations
• Might focus on benefits (e.g. related to hydraulic project), instead of the water itself

• 4 riparians: Senegal, Mali, Mauritania, [Guinea]
• Well-established Senegal River Basin Organisation (1972)
• Goals: shared development, joint governance and conflict management
• Jointly planned and owned infrastructures
• Shared costs and Shared benefits
• Water and socio-economic development (food security, hydropower, navigation, etc)
• Senegal Basin: good example of transboundary water cooperation

“A focus on sharing the benefits derived from the use of water, rather than rather than the allocation of water itself, provides far greater scope for identifying
mutually beneficial cooperative actions”
(Sadoff and Grey 2005)
