Even if smallholders are able to produce a surplus, their lack of access to downstream activities, such as processing and marketing, prevents them from selling it easily.

Stronger coordination and leadership on financial transparency and resource use are required, supported by the prospect of reducing dependence on development aid and increasing revenues in resource rich developing countries.

River mile zero may not be exactly at the mouth.

This loss to downstream countries would most likely be spread over several years.

The river is only navigable up to from the mouth, and only in the rainy season.

In the United States, a river mile is a measure of distance in miles along a river from its mouth.

Such leverage could in turn prompt a downstream state to build up its military capacity to help counterbalance this disadvantage.

Yet China rejects the very notion of water sharing or institutionalized cooperation with downriver countries.

Only about ten percent of the Amazon's water enters downstream of Óbidos, very little of which is from the northern slope of the valley.

It is fed by 23 rivers (8 in China and 15 in Russia), but the only outflow of the lake is the Songacha River.

These are not agreements to cooperate on shared resources, but rather commercial accords to sell hydrological data that other upstream countries provide free to downriver states.

Meanwhile, we drift downstream seemingly oblivious to the looming peril of the rapids ahead.

For example, the Willamette River (which discharges into the Columbia River) has its river mile zero at the edge of the navigable channel in the Columbia, some beyond the mouth.

Located on the border between Zambia and Democratic Republic of the Congo, it makes up 110 km of the total length of the Congo, lying between its Luapula River (upstream) and Luvua River (downstream) segments.

The source of the river is in the west of Ukraine, in the Volyn Podillia Upland, about 145 km from the Polish border, from where it flows southeasterly into the Bug Estuary (Black Sea basin) through the southern steppes.

Before such hydro engineering projects sow the seeds of water conflict, China ought to build institutionalized, cooperative river basin arrangements with downstream states.

During the 20th century, Samarra gained new importance when a permanent lake (Lake Tharthar) was created through the construction of the Samarra Dam, which was built in order to prevent the frequent flooding of Baghdad.

An independent assessment estimated that at least 5,110 people will be resettled from the reservoir and downstream area, and the dam is expected to lead to a significant change in the fishery.

The river flows past Komsomolsk na Pechore to Ust Ilych where the Ilych River joins from the east, then Northwest to Troitsko Pechorsk ( from the mouth), north to Vuktyl and Ust Shchuger where the Shchugor River joins from the east.

Thus, governments interested in closing the health gap such as the British Labour government in 1997 2010 usually end up pursuing such relatively painless downstream interventions.
