The European Water Framework Directive poses new challenges to sovereign nations that share river basins. Upstream and downstream countries now must cooperate in developing long-term plans that address policy issues related to water management in the entire river basin. Vision building and strategic planning in (transboundary) river basins are presented as a means to overcome lack of common goals and fragmentation in planning and implementation. Systems analysis is a first step in planning. The definition of system boundaries cannot be limited to the watershed of the river: system boundaries must shift according to the policy issue concerned. These shifting boundaries, and their consequences for the selection and implementation of measures to improve water management, are presented in a student vision for the Scheldt river basin
