This book addresses the diverse ways in which international law
governs the uses, management, and protection of fresh water. The
international law of fresh water is most comprehensively understood
in the light of the different bodies of norms applicable to these
varied uses and functions. The regulation of fresh water has
primarily developed through the conclusion of treaties concerning
international watercourses. Yet a number of other legal regimes
also apply to the governance of fresh water. In particular, there
has been an increasing recognition of the importance of fresh water
to environmental protection. The development of international human
rights law and international humanitarian law has also proven
crucial for ensuring the sound and equitable management of this
resource. In addition, the economic uses of fresh water feature
prominently in the law applicable to watercourses, while water
itself has become an important element of the trade and investment
regimes. These bodies of rules and principles not only surface in
an array of dispute settlement mechanisms, but also stimulate wider
trends of institutionalization. The book investigates the origin
and scope of these bodies of norms as they apply to fresh water,
and demonstrates how they connect and adapt to one another, forming
an integrated body of international principles. This approach is
accompanied by a detailed analysis of the practice of states and of
international organizations, taking into account the activities of
the many non-state actors involved in the treatment of fresh water.
