Introduction 

In the past decades, world demand for water has increased and the signs of a looming water crisis are clearly evident. Since water is essential to every aspect of life, the crisis affects everything – from health to human rights, the environment to the economy, poverty to politics, and culture to conflict. The crisis is also well beyond the scope of any individual or sector and cannot be dealt with in isolation. The need for integrated and cooperative mechanisms, institutions, and solutions for shared water resources to become a catalyst to efficiently manage disputes over water for regional peace and development through inclusive participative management of water resources is necessary.
