| Summary/Abstract |
United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) is useful to settle the maritime boundary disputes between the parties. However, the LOS agreement did not settle the question of what states should do when maritime claims overlap because states are less than 400 nm apart or when two nations have adjacent economic zone. Art. 15 allow states to claim the median line as the maximum while states are negotiating. LOS does not provide a specific solution as to how divide overlapping maritime claims. States are competing for the utilization of the maritime resources. In the future, there is possibility of more maritime disputes among the states.

| Summary/Abstract |
Many ancient civilizations center found on famous rivers — the Euphrates and the Tigris (Babylon), the Yangtze (China), the Ganges (India), and the Nile (Egypt) (Hussein 2014). The famous Greek historian Herodotus wrote in the fifth century B.C., ‘Egypt is the gift of the Nile’ (Swain 1997: 676). The Nile River basin act as ideal case studies to ask the following questions: 1) How do riparian states in transboundary basins achieve water security, and 2) In the face of increasing water scarcity, will efforts to achieve water security lead to increased conflict throughout the region or will they lead riparian states to cooperate in an effort to conserve their shared water resources? To answer these questions, importance given to the hydrogeography, history, and hydropolitics of the basins and riparian states (Ward and Roach 2010: 52).
