The hydrologic and political effects of rivers that cross significant boundaries are enormous. Rivers have positive effects in that they carry a significant amount of sediment which aids in building land in estuarine regions.

International conventions governing water sharing lead to complex political disputes. Public international law concerns the structure and conduct of States and Intergovernmental organizations. [1]
