| Research Abstract |
Following prerequisites were identified for basin countries of international river or lake basins to agree to a framework of transboundary environmental impact assessment based on the Espoo Convention : Pollution of water body affects all the basin countries as in the case with Caspian Sea. Two countries share river basins, and one country is situated in upstream for some of them, while the other country is in upstream for the rest, e. g. rivers shared by Canada and the United States. Basin countries are mutually dependant on various sectors thanks to progress of regional economic integration, like in the Mekong River basin.
