What is The Law of International Watercourses, 3rd ed. By Stephen C. McCaffrey. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2019. 642 + xlv pages. about?

The world is in urgent need of effective international rules to govern the use of freshwater resources shared by two or more states and the resolution of disputes arising from such use. International watercourseswhether rivers, lakes, or aquifersare unevenly distributed across political boundaries and are increasingly susceptible to depletion and degradation. The increasing shortage of fresh water, coupled with growing consumption demands, have led to inter-state water disputes over allocation and use in practically every part of the world. Moreover, such disputes have proven difficult to resolve due to the complex hydrological and geographical characteristics of fresh water; interconnections with other economic, political, and national security interests; and the relatively weak international legal framework that is currently in place. First published in 2001, with a second edition in 2007, the third edition of Stephen C. McCaffrey's The Law of International Watercourses, made available in 2019, addresses the myriad of issues surrounding international watercourses, inter-state disputes concerning their use, and the law governing both. The new edition provides a much-needed update
