This will lead to increased competition for and conflicts over the freshwater resources of the world's most important drainage basins, such as Danube, the Ganges and others which are shared between more than one country. As part of its purpose to develop international law and its codification, the United Nations (UN) have adopted the "Convention on the law of the non-navigational uses of international watercourses".
