Abstract
The management of border rivers control is important for countries adjacent to them due to changes in river channels and bed (especially in the lower reaches of the river). In many cases, the meandering of rivers leads to significant changes in boundary lines, leading to geopolitical outcomes and political conflicts. In countries facing water shortage crisis, the role of border-rivers and their control is vital. The vast majority of political conflicts between the Occupied Palestinian Territories and its neighbors over the Jordan River, or the case between India and Pakistan over the water of the Sind River are examples of such conflicts.
