The regulation of fresh water is a complex and multifaceted issue that is governed by a wide range of legal regimes. While treaties concerning international watercourses have played a significant role in shaping the regulatory framework, other legal regimes also apply to the governance of fresh water. One of the most important developments in recent years has been the increasing recognition of the importance of fresh water to environmental protection. This has led to the development of international human rights law and international humanitarian law, which aim to ensure the sound and equitable management of this resource.

In addition to environmental concerns, the economic uses of fresh water have also become prominent in the law applicable to watercourses. The trade and investment regimes have recognized the value of water as an asset, and these regimes have developed rules and principles to govern the acquisition, use, and protection of water resources. These bodies of rules and principles not only surface in an array of dispute settlement mechanisms, but also stimulate wider trends of institutionalization.

Since the publication of the first edition of this volume in 2013, water has continued to be at the forefront of the international agenda. The adoption of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in 2015 constitutes a milestone around which various public and private initiatives have been launched. This book presents and appraises these important developments as part of its comprehensive analysis of the origin and scope of the various areas of international law as they apply to fresh water. It demonstrates how these areas connect and adapt to one another, forming an integrated body of international principles.

The regulation of fresh water is a complex and multifaceted issue that requires a comprehensive approach. It involves a range of legal regimes and regulatory frameworks, including international treaties, national laws, and local regulations. The book addresses these various regimes and provides an in-depth analysis of the legal principles and practices that govern the use, management, and protection of fresh water.

One of the key themes of the book is the importance of international cooperation in the regulation of fresh water. The author argues that the management of fresh water resources should be approached as a global issue, and that countries should work together to develop and implement effective policies and practices. This requires a commitment to transparency, accountability, and the protection of human rights
