This study combines the strengths of historical studies and analytical approaches on transboundary water interactions to establish an historical process perspective on transboundary waters. The study analytically separates transboundary water cooperation, water diplomacy, and their broader political setting, and analyses their interplay over a long period of time. The paper presents a detailed case study on the development and transformation of Finnish-Russian transboundary water interactions over the last 100 years, with an emphasis on Finland and its relationship with the Soviet Union/Russia after World War II.

Правовые и экологические предпосылки отнесения крупных ГЭС к возобновляемым источникам энергии в условиях Таджикистана: инициирование дискуссии

Year: 2022

Collections: Scientific Publications

Topics: Water, Energy

Authors: Улугов У., Султанова Т.

Countries: Tajikistan

Source: Цетральноазиатский журнал исследования климата и устойчивого развития

В статье инициируется дискуссия по одной из наиболее актуальных проблем современного энергетического права, имеющей чрезвычайно важное значение для дальнейшего развития энергетической отрасли Республики Таджикистан и других государств с весомым гидроэнергетическим потенциалом. В частности, в статье поднимается проблема о необоснованности общепризнанной позиции, что крупные ГЭС не относятся к возобновляемым источникам энергии. Авторы статьи исследовали ряд публикаций, в которых излагается идея признания принадлежности крупных ГЭС к возобновляемым источникам энергии, и в рамках настоящей статьи развили её с учётом собственных наблюдений и доводов в контексте гидроэнергетического потенциала Республики Таджикистан.

Adaptation to expected water shortage and increasing water demand has to be undertaken to achieve water security in the future. In-depth studies on the quantification of climate change impact on water resources should be considered. Optimization of water management practices should consider the best economic value between Central Asian countries. Decision making process on water management should be supported with more scientific knowledge. Capacity building measures on the assessment of water availability in times of climate change should be improved.
