Abstract

As a prominent issue in political geography, Hydropolitics studies the role and function of water in political relations, including conflict, interaction, cooperation, competition and confrontation at all levels and scales. Various natural, climatic, economic, social and political factors play an influential role. There are two hundred and sixty-one international rivers in the world which are common between two or more countries. Principally, the existence of common water resources, particularly in navigable rivers as an economic resource, is a significant factor in border disputes between countries. The occurrence of wars and long disputes has a wide range of river tensions. Therefore, delimitation of these rivers in international law has legal effects such as declining conflicts and determining the legal status in utilizing and exploiting river resources that are regarded as the development of cooperation and connecting factor of nations and governments
