a) Geographic, hydrographic, hydrological, climatic, ecological and other factors of a natural character;

b) The social and economic needs of the watercourse States concerned;

c) The population dependent on the watercourse in each watercourse State;

d) The effects of the use or uses of the watercourses in one watercourse State on other watercourse States;

e) Existing and potential uses of the watercourse;

f) Conservation, protection, development and economy of use of the water resources of the watercourse and the costs of measures taken to that effect;

g) The availability of alternatives, of comparable value, to a particular planned or existing use.

2 In the application of article 5 or paragraph 1 of this article, watercourse States concerned shall, when the need arises, enter into consultations in a spirit of cooperation.
