What are water conflicts?

Picture
Water, like energy, is a fundamental human need, but is not evenly distributed. Physical factors play a key role in determining the geography of surface and groundwater supplies, as does human management and mis-management of the water resource base. Increasingly demand for water, which is growing, does not match
supply and this can have implications for human wellbeing. Demand for water resources comes from various users, and in addition water resources are often trans-boundary in nature.


The potential for conflict – both local and international – is high, and in many cases water resource use exceeds recharge capacity leading to long-term degradation. The future of water supply is in doubt in many areas, due to unsustainable use and the threat of climate change; increasingly it is already vulnerable populations who stand to suffer the most. Developing management strategies to ensure supply will require the co-operation of many different
players, and changes in the way water is valued and used.
