| The Many Facets of Transboundary Ground Water | |||
| This session will explore the important role of ground water as a transboundary resource, which, in this session’s context, is defined as a ground water reservoir that underlies or whose water flows beneath two or more political jurisdictions and that can be exploited by each jurisdiction (which need not be nations). We propose to examine not only the scientific and engineering aspects of transboundary ground water, but also its legal, institutional, social, political, and economic aspects. Although our session will emphasize theoretical and hypothetical considerations and North American case studies, presentations focusing on other regions are welcomed. | |||
