ABSTRACT
Much of what has been discussed in the preceding chapters is based on an idealized view of how Transboundary Water Management (TWM) should be done, as well as providing a critical analysis of TWM approaches. The arguments developed should be applicable to a range of different TWM processes in various parts of the world. However, what should happen is not necessarily what does happen – the implementation of policies and strategies can pose unexpected hurdles which have to be overcome. In an effort to illustrate some of the difficulties encountered when implementing TWM initiatives the editors have collated a selection of case studies.
