An international agreement on water is an agreement between two or more countries regarding the supply and use of water resources over a specific period of time. The terms and conditions on buying or sharing of water resources are discussed before signing the agreements. For example, Singapore has been buying water from Malaysia since 1920. There are 2 such agreements- signed in 1961 and expires in 2011, whereas, signed in 1962 and expires in 2061. Singapore buys raw water from the state of Johor while Johor buys back the water after it has been treated and potable water.
