As pressure on fresh water increases , the need for co-operation between states to protect and share them continues to grow. This issue takes a special look at rivers with an introduction by Sandra Postel and reports by Nantiya Tangwisutijit on the future of the Mekong and Daniel Hillel on the troubled water of Eden. Other articles consider the future of the Ganges, the damming of Lesotho’s waters and water diversion plans which threaten the great Zaire river system. Nobel, prize-winning author Gabriel Garcia Marquez contributes a fascinating essay on Magdalena, ‘the river of his life’.
