SHARED WATER RESOURCES: REVIEW OF CO‐OPERATIVE ACTION IN LATIN AMERICA

Joel Souto‐maior

Natural Resources Forum, 1977, vol. 2, issue 1, 37-52

Abstract: Present disputes between Bangladesh and India, Iraq and Syria, and Argentina and Brazil, to give only a few examples, have made headlines and brought world‐wide attention to the difficult problem of management of fresh water resources shared by two or more countries. Through an in‐depth analysis of the Latin American experience from the earliest bilateral treaties and continental conventions to existing multilateral agreements and up to the 1977 United Nations Water Conference in Argentina, Mr. Souto‐Maior provides some insight into the factors which have led to successful negotiations and guidance to improve the management of international rivers and lakes.
