On August 27 at Stockholm World Water Week, the Shared Waters Lab Partnership – a collaboration between Oregon State University, the Fletcher School at Tufts University, and IHE-Delft-Institute for Water Education - launched the Transboundary Freshwater Diplomacy Database (TFDD) Explorer. The TFDD Explorer is a new engaging tool that enables users to easily explore physical and institutional data on the world’s international river basins and access qualitative and tabular data on treaties (including full-text downloads), river basin organizations, and conflict-cooperation events. You can also explore maps at the scale of the basin, basin-country unit, or country,to access quick information about the international freshwater treaties, river basin organizations, water-related conflict and cooperation events, wetland area, and groundwaters associated with each scale. For a deeper dive, you can also view information on population, water consumption, water withdrawal, runoff, climate classifications, and existing and planned dams.
