7. Water sharing treaties
Helsinki rules - The Helsinki Rules on the Uses of the Waters of International Rivers is an international guideline regulating how rivers and their connected groundwaters that cross national boundaries may be used, adopted by the International Law Association (ILA) in Helsinki, Finland in August In spite of its adoption by the ILA, there is no mechanism in place that enforces the rules.
The rules suggested that the criteria for water sharing should be based on:
Natural factors- rainfall amounts, discharge along water sources, share of drainage basin, impact of climate change.
Social and economic needs - population size, welfare of people, development plans
Downstream impacts - restructuring flow, lowering water tables, pollution
Dependency - Availability of alternative sources
Prior use - the tricky question of (past) existing historic rights or potential future use
Efficiency - avoiding waste and mismanagement of water.
