ABSTRACTThis article analyses how La Plata River Basin experts perceive the process of setting up the governance of transboundary waters and determines whether the principles of good governance are adhered to, as established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). A questionnaire was developed and submitted to experts with demonstrated expertise in the field. The results suggest that transboundary water governance needs to be strengthened. Critical issues include principles related to policy coherence and coordination among sectors, integrity and transparency, stakeholder engagement, and balanced commitments between consumers, rural and urban regions, and generations.KEYWORDS: La Plata River Basintransboundary water governanceThe OECD Principles on Water Governancetransboundary water professionalsopinion survey AcknowledgementsThe authors extend their gratitude and acknowledgements to all water professional participants in this study.Disclosure statementNo potential competing interest was reported by the authors.Notes1.

ABSTRACT To survive the 2017/18 water crisis in the Western Cape Province of South Africa and to prepare for a challenging water future, the Western Cape Government developed and implemented plans to ensure water supply to certain of its critical service delivery facilities through the use of localized groundwater supply systems. The case study research of this programme provides both current and future disaster preparedness planners with an improved understanding of the levels of water resilience achievable through this strategy and the methodology to best achieve it. This also enables the critical success factors in pursuing this strategy to be distilled.

ABSTRACTOpen-access remote sensing products provide data for transboundary water management. This study presents a comprehensive overview of the applications, uncertainties and implications of these remote sensing data products in the context of transboundary water management. Focusing on different stages within the transboundary cooperation continuum, we delineate the potential role and application of remote sensing data at the various stages of this cooperation. Despite the uncertainties and capacity requirements for data acquisition, processing and interpretation, we argue that remote sensing broadens opportunities to monitor, assess, forecast, track or validate compliance in transboundary basins, thereby challenging traditional notions of water data exclusivity.KEYWORDS: Remote sensingtransboundary water managementwater conflictcooperative water managementwater data sharing Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThis study was supported by the Water and Development Partnership Programme (DUPC2) [grant number 109345] (Water Accounting Phase 2).

ABSTRACTThis paper examines intraregional bilateral trade in virtual water embedded in cereal flows between the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) states. A gravity model is employed to examine whether annual bilateral trade depends on differences in water endowments, but also includes socio-economic and political determinants that affect trade. There is evidence that the abundance of water resources in a country influences trade for a product that is water dependent. Thus, the adverse effect of water scarcity in a country may be ameliorated by encouraging exports of water-intensive cereal crops where water is in abundance and imported where water is scarce.KEYWORDS: bilateral trade in cerealswater endowmentsvirtual water tradegravity modelSouthern Africa Development Community (SADC) AcknowledgementsWe are grateful to the International Water Management Institute, the IFPRI, AKADEMIYA2063, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the United States Agency for International Development for their support for the ReSAKSS programme, one of whose activities led to this paper.

How is international water law able to stabilize expectations amid uncertain conditions? We use modern systems theory to hypothesize using the Lancang–Mekong River context. We propose: Hypothesis 1: Equitable utilization norms incorporate variant possibilities to solve the problem of contingency; Hypothesis 2: No significant harm norms select expectations worth protecting to solve the problem of confidence; Hypothesis 3: Cooperation norms retain learning opportunities to solve the problem of trust. Our aim is not to test correspondence with reality, but to stimulate understanding of international water law. Specifically, we evaluate how system problems of contingency, confidence and trust shape laws’ function.

摘要社会政治因素影响着城市水不安全,但往往没有纳入城市水、环境卫生和个人卫生(WASH)规划。哥伦比亚卡塔赫纳市的WASH服务覆盖率表明水安全状况良好,但该市1991年至2019年的水政策和治理历史揭示了一个更为复杂的水不安全现实,而这并未反映在服务覆盖率指标中。本案例研究将科学调查与政策联系起来,展示了市政一级薄弱的机构和治理如何破坏地方水安全和国家可持续发展政策的实施。关键词:城市水安全wash政策可持续发展拉丁美洲和加勒比地区水治理领域哥伦比亚致谢作者感谢卡塔赫纳的利益相关者和社区成员,他们提供了当地的见解和信息。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。联合国在可持续发展目标6中解决了水不安全问题:“确保人人享有水和卫生设施并对其进行可持续管理”(UN, 2015)。联合国水机制对水安全的定义是:“水安全是指人口为维持生计、人类福祉和社会经济发展,确保免受水传播污染和与水有关的灾害,以及在和平与政治稳定的气候下保护生态系统,而可持续地获得足够数量、质量可接受的水的能力。”(联合国水机制,Citation2013)。第94条要求从维根沼泽和迪克运河持续提供饮用水,以满足城市和区域的需要。第95条要求进行流域和环境管理,并确保清洁的饮用水(卡塔赫纳,Citation2001,第54页)。第95条要求进行流域和环境管理,并确保清洁的饮用水(卡塔赫纳,Citation2001,第54页)。不可缓解的高风险区域是指受到山体滑坡等自然灾害威胁的地区,被认为不适合居住(POT Cartagena, Citation2001, pp. 60-66)。本研究由美国国家科学基金会资助,资助号为BCS-1759972。
