Riparian articles should meet one of these criteria:

A)The riparian is a sovereign state or federated state or province or city-state with a reasonable claim to water access or rights in a conflict that would meet AquaPedia case study guidelines.

or

B)The riparian is an established territory with official governance designated by treaty or other binding-agreement with a reasonable claim to water access or rights in a conflict that would meet AquaPedia case study guidelines.

Generally speaking, common sense should dictate the level of depth for defining riparians in cases. For many transboundary cases, the relevant riparians would only be the countries involved. However, in some cases, concerns of smaller units, such as federated states or city states within one of the involved countries may necessitate their inclusion in the case study.

Riparian articles should be named as the Riparian's title. For example: "Egypt" would be an appropriate title, but "Riparian of Egypt" would be inappropriate.
