Abstract

Transboundary waterbodies are intended all surface waterbodies and ground waterbodies that delimit, cross or are located within the boundaries of the Parties (art. 1). The Parties, for the purpose of joint management, protection and rehabilitation of waterbodies, have agreed to cooperate as follows: (a) to acknowledge equal rights and responsibility for the rational freshwater resources management and protection (art. 2); (b) to prevent freshwater pollution by refraining from discharge of pollutants into transboundary waterbodies (art. 3); (c) to acknowledge previously elaborated and validated intergovernmental transboundary water resources distribution, including irrigation systems, channels and sluices (art. 4); to exchange water management documentation (art. 8).
