Abstract Issue linkage has often been mentioned as a strategy for resolving transboundary water conflicts. Given that water is a multi-functional resource, there may in principle also be opportunities for issue linkage within the water sector. As a first step this paper introduces two types of intra-water sector issue linkages: (1) the linkage of water uses with effects in reversed directions, and (2) the linkage of water uses with rectified effects in river basins in which riparians hold reversed positions. As a second step it explores the empirical relevance of different linkages in the Scheldt-Meuse and the Colorado-Rio Grande negotiations.
