We take an axiomatic approach to the allocation of riparian water rights. We formalize
ethical or structural properties as axioms of allocation rules. We show that several combinations of these axioms characterize focal rules implementing the principle of Territorial
Integration of all Basin States in various forms. We complete our study with an empirical
application to the allocation of riparian water rights in the Nile River, which have long
been in dispute.
