| Summary/Abstract |
Niagara Falls and the Niagara River have always attracted great public interest due to their natural beauty, their enormous potential for electricity generation, their recreational value and as an important ecosystem. There have been simultaneous efforts to preserve this unique natural wonder and harness its power through hydroelectric development projects by both the United States and Canada. This paper explores the evolution of these efforts that culminated with the signing of the 1950 Niagara River Water Diversion Treaty that established minimum water flow rates to protect the "scenic beauty" of the falls, allowing the remaining water to be diverted for power production. We examine the rationale that led to specific water flow restrictions and question to what extent they are relevant today, as water intake capacity on the Canadian side has just been extended by around 25%. We find that current restrictions under the Niagara River Water Treaty (that expired in 2000) are not based on sound scientific evidence and estimate the upper limit of potential foregone benefits from clean electricity generation and greenhouse gas reductions. We identify a number of important issues that emerged in the last decades and that would justify an exploration of new treaty rules.

| Summary/Abstract |
Water is useful in various uses. Today its availability is core issue. World is struggling to cope with water scarcity. Water security has vital place in the governments’ agenda. Global climatic change will affect water availability. It is predicted that by the year 2025 a full 35 per cent of the world population will be living under conditions of water scarcity or stress. Formerly internal rivers have now become international water. Since the Second World War, the total number of the world’s independent nations has doubled. Decolonization is the reason in the increase of number of International River. Non-navigational uses of waters get importance thannavigational uses.

| Summary/Abstract |
Rivers are the lifeline of human existence , culture and civilisation. It is one of the finest non violent weapons to protect flow of peace , happiness and economic growth but in last couple of decades the world saw its use as a lethal weapon as an instrument of regional politics and political aspirations across the globe. Be it South East Asia , South Asia , Africa or Middle East River water sharing conflicts proved to be detrimental to regional stability as well as regional integration. South east asian countries have been facing river water differences with China for a long time.

| Summary/Abstract |
With water concerns growing increasingly urgent, the global community will benefit from a treatment of the lessons learned and best practices in water dispute resolutions and approaches to water management. This report discusses the outcome of a working group of water experts from the Near East and South Asia (NESA) region,1 set up by the Strategic Studies Network, National Defense University, Washington DC. It is hoped that the findings and agreed-upon recommendations will add to the body of knowledge and sensitise policy-makers and governments to the challenges and opportunities that water presents. Some of the key questions discussed are:
