Analyzes the rivers dictated by a number of treaty observations. Examining several hypotheses, this book devises general conclusions about the manner in which states resolve their water disputes. It focusses on negotiated agreements, and their embodied side-payment and cost-sharing regimes, that justifies the use of independent variables.

Bridges over Water places the study of transboundary water conflicts, negotiation, and cooperation in the context of various disciplines, such as international relations, international law, international negotiations, and economics. It demonstrates their application, using various quantitative approaches, such as river basin modeling, quantitative negotiation theory, and game theory. Case-studies of particular transboundary river basins, lakes, and aquifers are also considered. This second edition updates the literature on international water and in-depth analyses on political developments and cooperation between riparian states. With an appended chapter on principles and practices of negotiation, and a new case study on the La Plata Basin, this edition is a timely update to the field of transboundary water studies.
