To summarize the issue of conflict and water, www.globalpolicy.org states the following:

“As demand for water hits the limits of finite supply, potential conflicts are brewing between nations that share transboundary freshwater reserves. More than 50 countries on five continents might soon be caught up in water disputes unless they move quickly to establish agreements on how to share reservoirs, rivers, and underground water aquifers. The articles and analysis below examine international water disputes, civil disturbances caused by water shortages, and potential regulatory solutions to diffuse water conflict.”

Take a look at their website:

⁂ ​Using articles from this site, or from the internet in general (focusing on either domestic/U.S. or international water conflicts), analyze and explain the links between water scarcity and conflict. If you have personal experience with this issue, please bring in your own anecdotal insights to the conversation.
