Abstract:
This thesis investigates the phenomenon of cooperation and conflict over international water resources. In particular, it focuses on transboundary river cooperation between riparian states with asymmetrical power relations, where the dominant power is an upstream country. As argued by realist scholars, cooperation in international relations is limited. This is especially the case in regards to water resource management, when the upstream country is the regional dominant power as the asymmetric power situation makes bargaining between countries more difficult.

Abstract:
Rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations have motivated efforts to better quantify reservoirs and fluxes of Earth’s carbon. Of these fluxes from the atmosphere, one that has received relatively little attention is the atmospheric carbon sink associated with carbonate mineral dissolution. Osterhoudt (2014) and Salley (2016) explored new normalization techniques to improve and standardize a process for measuring this flux over large river basins. The present research extends this work to the 490,600 km2 Ohio River drainage basin and 11 subbasins. The study estimated the DIC flux leaving these basin

This dissertation evaluates the water allocation challenges in the rural river basins of the developing world, where demands are growing and the supply is limited.

However, irrigation as the major water consumer in these basins has low water use efficiency. As water scarcity grows, the need to maximize economic gains by reallocating water to more eff

Rivers sourced in the Himalayan mountains support more than 10% of the global population, where the majority of these people live downstream of the mountain front on the alluvial Indo-Gangetic Plain. Many of these rivers however, are also the source of devastating floods. The tendency of these rivers to flood is directly related to their large-scale morphology. In general, rivers that drain the east Indo-Gangetic Plain have channels that are perched at a higher elevation relative to their floodplain, leading to more frequent channel avulsion and flooding.
