NEGOTIATIONS OF TRANSBOUNDARY WATER LEGAL AGREEMENTSARE HIGHLY POLITICISED PROCESSES:
• Equitable and reasonable utilisation is difficult to operationalise• Asymmetric power might be an obstacle
• Negotiations on volumetric water allocations are highly problematic• “Water-sharing” might not be the best approach

Water-Sharing vs. Benefit-Sharing?
![Page 11: Hydropolitics TWM Global2010 (III)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050906/555b4f94d8b42a16758b4f91/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Benefit-Sharing Approach
Benefits to to
the river
Benefits from from
the river
Benefits because because
of the river
Benefits beyondbeyondthe river
BENEFITS OF COOPERATIONBENEFITS OF COOPERATION
Environmental Social Economic Political
Sadoff and Grey 2002, 2005
“A focus on sharing the benefits derived from the use of water,rather than the allocation of water itself,
provides far greater scope for identifying mutually beneficial cooperative actions”

Water Cooperation: example from the Senegal Basin
Who gets what water, when, where and how?
• 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

Manantali Dam - a joint project:shared benefits and shared costs

Identify cooperative or joint cooperative or joint projects

HYDROPOLITICS (III)
* Hydropolitical Cooperation is possible
* ‘Water-sharing’ (water allocation) is a difficult political process
* ‘Benefit-sharing’ can be an alternative paradigm
