Waterbasins
March 11, 2010
In many places of Latin America the rivers and lakes form borders in dividing the country from one another. In these parts the waterways flow transnational. In spite of sharing these natures’ resources, each country has its own plans and programs. As the population grows there is growing demand for water. This growing demand places pressure on the existing water sources that are shared already, thus leading to limitations and also to self isolated managements. There is need for greater harmonization and coordination between the countries sharing these large water basins. They need to work together in identifying key indicators to be watched and would let them know of the availability and variability of the waters.
