Reviews

'This book is a welcome addition to scholarly investigations of the norms applicable to transboundary aquifers. Groundwater has an increasingly important role to play in the context of water security but its governance, domestically and particularly internationally, remains embryonic. With its practical and academic approach, this publication clearly brings to light and thoroughly explains the essential international legal rules that aquifer states need to be aware of when considering engaging in transboundary aquifer cooperation.' -- Zaki Shubber, IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, the Netherlands 'Management and regulation of groundwater is generally fragmented and poor, especially when the resource flows across state boundaries. In such cases, sovereignty prevails over cooperation, hampering protection and optimal utilization. This book provides deeper insights and critical analysis of the principles of transboundary groundwater law and the agreements and arrangements on shared aquifers, with the view of addressing the problems of sharing, management and protection. It is scrupulously researched and well-written, and is highly recommended for water lawyers, practitioners, and policy makers.' -- Salman M. A. Salman, former Water Law Adviser, The World Bank
