Abstract

This chapter presents the development of international law in transboundary aquifers. While few years ago, State practice over transboundary aquifers was very scarce and almost non-existent, the situation is now showing signs of change. States sharing an aquifer are seeking to establish cooperation mechanisms over their common resource, and are introducing the consideration of a legal component in projects on transboundary aquifers. In June 2006, draft articles on the law of transboundary aquifers have been adopted at first reading by the UN International Law Commission.
