Hydrocracy: redefining water-centric administrative borders based on hydrological features, i.e., the extent of major rivers, and the irrigation, economic, and fluvial transportation capabilities they unlock.

Less arbitrary than historical borders, and holds great explanatory power over some water-conflicted areas (such as Kashmir)

Interestingly, I think this way of slicing human territories would completely upend existing borders, because many of them are actually based on rivers (a heritage of rivers being natural frontlines in wars because of how difficult they are to cross under fire).

Whereas this hydrocracy map would place rivers at the *center* of territories, and borders at halfway points between major rivers (just like maritime borders are at halfway points between two counties’s coastlines)
