Exploring Benefits And Scope Of Cooperation In Transboundary Water Sharing In The Amu Darya Basin

摘要: This chapter assesses ex-ante the Rogun Dam project in Tajikistan and examines different possibilities of water allocation between riparian countries trade-offs across competing uses for resources. A hydro-economic optimization model is used to quantify impacts dam operations on energy production irrigation availability. The finds that economic depend its operation. Under case sustained cooperation, loss downstream countries, Uzbekistan Turkmenistan, could be insignificant from construction by upstream country, Tajikistan. However, any unilateral diversion increased hydropower benefits may lead a larger countries. justifies strong need trust cooperation among over managing infrastructural resources achieving sustainable growth.
