Abstract
At the heart of most international water conflicts is the question of “equitable” allocations, criteria for which are vague and often contradictory. However, application of an equitable water-sharing agreement along the volatile waterways of the globe is a prerequisite to hydropolitical stability. This paper explores the question of equity measures for water-sharing agreements in the context of global hydropolitics, describing the practice of water resources allocations as exemplified in the Transboundary Freshwater Dispute Database a computerized database of 145 treaties relating to international water resources. Forty-nine of these treaties delineate water allocations.
