This study contributes to the existing literature on the river sharing problem. We extend the traditional river sharing model to incorporate variability in endowments and the externality of flooding. In this work, we construct a theoretical model of a successive flood prone river shared between two riparian states. We investigate the stability of agreements which allocate water as well as flood damages among riparian states. Cooperation is ensured by means of fixed annual side-payments, and responsibilities over flood damages are assumed to be assigned using the Sequential Upstream Proportional Allocation rule. If variability in water availability is taken into account, then a stable agreement must sustain cooperative behaviour for any realization of endowments, and must be resilient to scarcity or floods which occur as a consequence of variability. In order to frame such agreements, we utilise the theory of infinitely repeated discounted games. We derive a threshold limit on the discount factor, below which stability cannot be ensured. © 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
