Transboundary Groundwater Resources: Sustainable Management and Conflict Resolution

The book Transboundary Groundwater Resources: Sustainable Management and Conflict Resolution (Fried and Ganoulis 2016) builds on an experimental training program. The program consisted of two workshops held in 2006 and 2010 in collaboration with the International Hydrological Programme of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). In his introductory chapter, lead editor Fried describes the volume as a “manual” designed as a “first attempt to conceive and produce a textbook dealing with transboundary groundwater governance and sustainable management and involving water diplomacy for negotiations and conflict resolution.”
