Transboundary Database

Water Without Borders?

Transboundary Database

These tables represent the range of Canada-United States transboundary governance mechanisms across North America at federal, state-provincial and local levels. They are sub-categorised according to major watersheds and are ordered by date of conception. They contain information on the form and objectives of the agreement, scope of enforcement and management, and relevant stakeholders.

The mechanism types are categorised by treaty, memoranda of understanding (MOU), agreement (MOA) or cooperation (MOC), exchange of notes or other directives. Stakeholders refer to the organisation represented by members of the board, signatories or those otherwise mentioned within the text of the agreement or mandate.
