  • Ken Conca on Transboundary Water Basin Management

    Friday Podcasts  //  Water Stories (Podcast Series)  //  January 18, 2019  //  By Linsey Edmunds & Truett Sparkman

    “When we start talking about water in the context of security, we’re immediately drawn to a conversation about conflict.

Of the world’s 276 transboundary water basins, fewer than half are governed by an agreement or accord that allocates use of the shared water between countries—and less than a quarter of these accords include all the riparian states in a basin.

    Aaron Wolf 235“Countries—even countries that don’t like each other much—have, and continue to have, conversations over water resources, even when they won’t about other issues,” says Aaron Wolf, Director of Water Conflict Management and Transformation at Oregon State University, in this week’s Water Stories podcast.
