Transboundary River Basins around the World

The world’s transboundary river basins span 151 countries, include more than 2.8 billion people (around 42 % of the world’s population), cover 62 million km2 (42 % of the total land area of the Earth), and produce around 22 000 km3 of river discharge each year (roughly 54 % of the global river discharge).From earlier known transboundary river basin delineations ( 214 transboundary basins identified by UNDESA (1978), 261 by Oregon State University (1999), 263 by OSU (2002), 276 by OSU (2012)) the number has risen to 286.For more information, visit: http://twap-rivers.org/
