Abstract
Focusing on the cooperative history of international water, epitomized by hundreds of documented water agreements, the paper argues that cooperation is most likely when the resource is neither abundant (when there is no real impetus for cooperation) nor highly scarce (where there is little of the resource to divide among the parties or the degradation too costly to manage).
