Fresh water is one of man's most vital needs. The distribution of
water within river basins has a direct bearing on the organization
of water resources development to meet this ever-expanding need.
River basins, despite their very great diversity in other respects,
have one physical characteristic in common: each is a more or less
self-contained unit within whose bounds all the surface and part or
all of the ground waters form an interconnected, interdependent
system. This inter dependence has such far-reaching implications -
for pollution and flood control, apportionment of supply, relations
between upstream and downstream riparians, to mention only a few
examples - that the river basin has become almost universally
accepted (within the past 20 or 30 years at least) as the unit of
optimal water resources de velopment. Professor Teclaff's work
(which was originally submitted to the New York University School
of Law as a doctoral dissertation) is the first fully developed
response to the important resolution passed by the International
Law Association at its New York meeting in I958 recognizing the
legal nature of the international river basin. His study quite
properly, therefore, poses the question whether the adoption of the
river basin unit is a temporary phenomenon, reflecting the current
stage of technology and of administrative, economic, and legal
thought on water resources development, or whether the de
terminative influence of the river basin's physical unity which has
always operated in the past will continue to operate in the
future."
