a major river may be located in a different country than the country through which the river flows There is no guaranteethat the river source will be protected to accommodate resource needs downstream In addition, the way in which onenatural resource is managed has a direct effect upon other natural resources Cutting down a forest near a river, forinstance, increases erosion, the wearing away of topsoil, and can lead to flooding Eroded soil and silt cloud the river andadversely affect many organisms such as fish and important aquatic plants that require clean, clear freshwater forsurvival
