STATUS REPORT ON THE APPLICATION OF INTEGRATED APPROACHES TO WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
2.2 Transboundary cooperation A total of 54% of countries are engaged in implementation of transboundary agreements for specific river basins (Figure 2.7). While there are huge differences in the purpose and detail of such agreements, this does indicate a certain level of attention to transboundary water resources issues. Figure 2.8 shows that transboundary water issues are of less concern to countries in the Latin America and Caribbean and Asia and Pacific regions, probably because of the high number of island states in these regions.
