The United States has historically been a strong supporter of coordinated, international water resources studies and planning in Southeast Asia's Lower Mekong River Basin. Since 1975, however, the United States has not contributed to the Mekong Project. Nonetheless, the United States may benefit in several ways by supporting the Mekong River Commission. This paper describes a rationale for renewed US participation in the Mekong Project and identifies several Mekong River Commission Secretariat programs to which the United States could contribute.

This paper critically examines the Helsinki Rules (1966), the United Nations Convention (1997) and the Berlin Rules (2004), looking at their emphasis on the principle either of equitable utilization or of doing no harm and analysing the effect of these principles on late developers within a river basin. The analysis reveals that these rules increasingly favour first developers. Today, late developers have even less incentive to subscribe to these rules, but instead must either utilize their own dominance or have a powerful ally to develop their water resources. Given the Millennium Development Goals, the existing recommendations on the sharing of international rivers should be revised so as not to favour the early developers.

This essay collection reveals three overarching themes - the first relates to the centrality of water in tackling 21st century challenges such as peace, food and energy security as well as safeguarding sustainable livelihoods in poor regions and countries. The second theme focuses on governance and investment in water management. The third and final section entitled, 'Nor any drop to drink: Water and habitats for people and nature' provides a collection of essays that aims to raise two important issues. The first is to highlight the importance of the diverse social groups who, despite being central to the water scarcity debate, are often marginalised. The second important issue highlighted in the third section is to look beyond water itself in order to address the importance of rivers and aquifers.
