Thanks Mr. Punj for your interest in our work! You address the important issue of cross-border management of river systems. In our paper, we focus on the methodological procedures to improve the ecology. What you are addressing are political and societal issues that should be solved in negotiations. Consistent methodologies (like the one we suggest) could also help establishing an objective approach to restore river catchments. The European Water Framework Directive goes in that direction on applying and calibrating similar methods in the member states.
