b) The Boundary Waters Treaty

The Boundary Waters Treaty, signed in 1901 between the U.S. and Canada, was largely focused on the use and management of Niagara Falls. This historic agreement addressed issues related to water rights and the shared use of the natural resources along the U.S.-Canada border, particularly in the Great Lakes region. The treaty established principles for handling boundary waters and laid the groundwork for future cooperation in managing these shared environmental resources. Its impact has been significant in preserving the natural beauty of Niagara Falls and ensuring its sustainable use for generations.
