Abstract
The article contains a brief history of the formation and evolution of political conflict on transboundary Indus and Mekong rivers. It’s underlined that transboundary rivers crossing borders of several national states have a strong potential for conflict. In the region of South and Southeast Asia, characterized by high population pressure on water resources and, as a consequence, low water availability, as well as varying degrees of economic and political development, it has proved possible to lay the foundation for a further cooperation on joint water use of the transboundary Indus and Mekong rivers by means of political will, legal and institutional mechanisms of solving interstate political conflicts.
