Hydropolitical Vulnerability River Basin Organizations
International cooperation over shared water resources can ultimately
lead to integrated economic and environmental sustainable development.
This cooperation in turn strengthens institutional capacity in the region
and reduces hydropolitical vulnerability. River Basin Organizations
(RBO's) have a pivotal role in promoting and developing frameworks for
equitable sharing of water resources. RBO's help to generate public
awareness, political openness, and disseminate information and provide
oversight for allocation of water. There is a need to strength RBO's
planning and implementation capabilities, as well as functional capacity
for funding operational costs and data collection. The continued expansion
and networking of RBO's will lead to stronger regional institutional
capacity that can help promote cooperation and prevent conflict over
shared water resources.
