A questionnaire was developed and submitted to experts with demonstrated expertise in the field. The results suggest that transboundary water governance needs to be strengthened. Critical issues include principles related to policy coherence and coordination among sectors, integrity and transparency, stakeholder engagement, and balanced commitments between consumers, rural and urban regions, and generations.KEYWORDS: La Plata River Basintransboundary water governanceThe OECD Principles on Water Governancetransboundary water professionalsopinion survey AcknowledgementsThe authors extend their gratitude and acknowledgements to all water professional participants in this study.Disclosure statementNo potential competing interest was reported by the authors.Notes1.

This study presents a comprehensive overview of the applications, uncertainties and implications of these remote sensing data products in the context of transboundary water management. Focusing on different stages within the transboundary cooperation continuum, we delineate the potential role and application of remote sensing data at the various stages of this cooperation. Despite the uncertainties and capacity requirements for data acquisition, processing and interpretation, we argue that remote sensing broadens opportunities to monitor, assess, forecast, track or validate compliance in transboundary basins, thereby challenging traditional notions of water data exclusivity.KEYWORDS: Remote sensingtransboundary water managementwater conflictcooperative water managementwater data sharing Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThis study was supported by the Water and Development Partnership Programme (DUPC2) [grant number 109345] (Water Accounting Phase 2).","PeriodicalId":49371,"journal":{"name":"Water International","volume":"231 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135993697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Does bilateral trade in cereals within SADC reflect virtual trade in water between countries with different water endowments?","authors":"Greenwell Matchaya, Roberto J.

A gravity model is employed to examine whether annual bilateral trade depends on differences in water endowments, but also includes socio-economic and political determinants that affect trade. There is evidence that the abundance of water resources in a country influences trade for a product that is water dependent. Thus, the adverse effect of water scarcity in a country may be ameliorated by encouraging exports of water-intensive cereal crops where water is in abundance and imported where water is scarce.KEYWORDS: bilateral trade in cerealswater endowmentsvirtual water tradegravity modelSouthern Africa Development Community (SADC) AcknowledgementsWe are grateful to the International Water Management Institute, the IFPRI, AKADEMIYA2063, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the United States Agency for International Development for their support for the ReSAKSS programme, one of whose activities led to this paper.
