9. Very low densely populated areas were
found to be less likely to experience water
interactions, but in case of rural
communities (> 50% of the population
living in rural areas) extremely dependent
on agricultural productivity (> 30% of the
GDP) for their economic development,
the combination of the three factors was
found likely to experience water issues
10. Increasing demographic pressure,
environmental degradation, and
climate change impacts on water
spatio-temporal distribution represent
the largest determinants of current and
future water related issues.

basins often resulted in a benefit
multiplier opportunity, associated
with lower costs, increasing benefits
and possibility for cooperation
