Abstract

Water management that focuses on issues such as flooding, river restoration or water quality (a part of the Water Framework Directive) almost always have a cross-border component. But cross-border cooperation is easier said than done, because of cultural differences, organisational barriers, or differences in perception, goals or strategies. RIVERCROSS is trying to contribute to solutions for river-basin management in cross-border regions by facilitating reflection, information sharing, and policy learning about cultural and institutional barriers and opportunities.
