Examples of Transboundary River Cooperation

Best practices and lessons learnt from transboundary river basin cooperation were presented aiming to improve water management. Presentations included legal and institutional issues, joint monitoring and assessment, balancing different interests, integrated approach and the application of European directives, flood and climate change management. The case studies referred to Central Asia (Syr Darya River), Eastern, Central and Northern Europe (Rivers Tisza, Drin, Dnister, Vuoksi) and in the area of the Dutch river basins on the North Sea side. The already achieved progress requires continuous involvement.
