In both India and the US, the majority of rivers are interstate and the states retain substantial legal power over water resources. In the US, negotiation of river compacts has not eliminated controversy, due to their inflexibility over time. In India, court-appointed tribunals, employed for major interstate river conflicts, have frequently relied on a vague principle of just and equitable apportionment in resolving interstate disputes. The experiences of the two countries show that conflict resolution must involve positive rewards for all the parties involved. This involves imaginative application of the principle of benefit sharing and the expansion of water markets to cover the entire river basin.
