Surface and underground water do not respect political boundaries. This means that states must cooperate to manage water. (GWP Strategy 2009-2013) Transboundary water resources contribute to the economic, social, and environmental well-being of communities around the globe. Despite their inter-connectivity (national, sectoral), challenges remain in efforts to integrate the management of water resources that are shared across national and administrative borders. As a meta-framework for international relations, international water law provides an identifiable corpus of rules of treaty and customary law that determine the legality of State actions with respect to water resources that cross national boundaries. International water law provides a platform for identifying and integrating the relevant legal, scientific, and policy issues and aspects pertaining to the utilization of transboundary watercourses (such as traditional reference to “all relevant factors and circumstances” in determining equitable use). At an operational level, international law offers a range of tools and mechanisms for implementation through concrete rules containing specific rights and duties as well as procedures that can be invoked in managing transboundary watercourses or resolving interstate conflicts. The GWP network includes a significant number of transboundary watercourses, many of which are covered by functioning treaties. However, some of these agreements are incomplete, or fail to cover the entire basin, or still fail to materialise. Despite the existence of identifiable rules of customary law, cooperation appears to be best facilitated where there are agreements in place. This paper reviews current best practice and suggests that the opportunities for effective transboundary cooperation are enhanced where the following five core elements are addressed in transboundary water treaties– scope; substantive rules; procedural rules; institutional mechanisms; and dispute settlement. Where transboundary watercourse States agree on how these matters will be dealt with in their international water-related relations, the potential for effective cooperation is increased; this is further enhanced where the institutional mechanism that is established (i.e. River Basin Organisation; Meeting of the Parties, and so forth) is fully functional. International law, through its very raison d’etre and functional application, aspires to facilitate transboundary cooperation so as to assist in achieving water security and the laudable goal of water for all.

Recent exploration has revealed that deep-seated and large groundwater reservoirs in Africa’s intracontinental basins can be regarded as an additional strategic resource for supply of drinking water. The origin, genesis and recharge of these groundwater reservoirs, however, are still poorly understood. A multidisciplinary approach involving remote sensing, geophysical surveys and hydraulic investigations, as well as hydrochemical and isotope studies, was pursued to gain better insight into the genesis and the potential of a recently discovered lower Kalahari aquifer (LKA) located in the Zambezi Region (Namibia). The study shows that regional tectonic activity associated with the propagation of the Okavango Rift Zone had a tremendous impact on the drainage evolution and hydrogeological setting of the region. Furthermore, there is geomorphological evidence that the LKA—prior to tectonic subsidence and burial—was part of a paleochannel of the upper Zambezi River. Hydraulic continuity could be confirmed by geochemical evolution down the flow path. Cation exchange combined with dissolution of calcite progressively produces alkalinity and sodium and consumes calcium in the north–south direction. Comparison of stable isotope content of the LKA with modern rainfall indicates that the recharge occurred under cooler climate conditions. Analysis of 14C concentrations and 36Cl/Cl ratios show that the age of the groundwater exceeds 100 ka and is hence older than presumed. It is concluded that the assessment of the sedimentology, tectonic structures and geochemistry are key factors for understanding both the paleoclimatic and modern recharge processes of deep-seated aquifer systems.
