Case studies
During its first phase of activities, PCCP asked experts that were involved in the management of selected river basins to author a series of case studies. They provide an important summary of data related to the hydrology of the river basins in addition to substantial information on the historical management of the water resources. The legal, political and economic aspects of cooperation were also analyzed and assessed.
Starting from PCCP’s second phase, the case study exercise was used in an innovative approach that combined research with cooperation process support. The following case studies followed this approach: Lake Titicaca (Peru-Bolivia), Mono River Basin (Togo-Benin), and Ostua Metapan Aquifer (Guatemala-El Salvador)
