摘要

Rivers have been a popular choice for international boundary-makers throughout history for a variety of reasons.nHowever, defining a jurisdictional limit in a dynamic natural feature continues to pose challenges for neighbouringnstates. At the same time, rivers which form international boundaries are natural resources which arensimultaneously shared and divided, requiring bilateral (and sometimes multilateral) cooperation on bordernmanagement. With all their complexities, how well do we understand the scope of river boundaries around thenworld? Challenging previous studies whose perspective has tended to generalise the extent of river boundaries, thisnarticle examines the development of the International River Boundaries Database (IRBD) which represents thenmost comprehensive collection of information concerning the lengths and definitions of river boundariesnworldwide. Emphasising an accurate image of river boundaries on the ground, the IRBD reveals that the truenmagnitude of river boundaries worldwide has been underestimated, and likewise the true magnitude ofnmanagement challenges inherent to river boundaries has been underestimated. In doing so, the IRBD helps tonengage inter-disciplinary and bilateral dialogue on the under-researched link between boundary definition andntransboundary water management.
