The numbers of international rivers that flow over the territories of two or more countries are not negligible as they cover a significant portion of the earth’s surface. Disputes among riparian states over non-navigational uses of waters of such international rivers are also not rare and trifling. Conflicts and tensions over such disputes not only have the potential to destabilize regional harmony but also may even affect international relationships. From this point of view, the settlement of disputes over international water resources has become crucial on the international agenda in recent years. However, this area of international importance is often overlooked or is not intensively dealt with in many traditional text books on international law. International Rivers: Rights of the Riparian States, written by Mohiuddin Farooque and edited and updated by Daud Hassan, is a great attempt to fill this gap. The book deals with the yet-to-be-well-settled international laws relating to the non-navigational uses of waters of international rivers.
