A project of the Oregon State University Department of Geosciences
 


To aid in the assessment of the process of water conflict prevention and resolution, over the years we have developed this Transboundary Freshwater Dispute Database, a project of the Oregon State University Department of Geosciences, in collaboration with the Northwest Alliance for Computational Science and Engineering.
 
 

Projects

Atlas of International Freshwater Agreements: Contains an historical overview of international river basin management; a detailed listing of more than 400 international freshwater agreements; and a collection of thematic maps.

International Freshwater Treaties Database: A searchable database of more than 400 international, freshwater-related agreements, covering the years 1820 to 2002.

Transboundary Freshwater Spatial Database: Biophysical, socioeconomic, and geopolitical data relating to the world's international river basins are accessible and searchable through spatial and tabular formats.

International Water Event Database: A searchable database documenting historical international water relations from 1948 to 1999.

International River Basin Register (updated August 2002): This register lists the world's international river basins, delineated by continent.
 


By its nature, the TFDD is a work in progress. Comments, suggestions, and corrections are encouraged. Please contact the project director for more information about the project:
