TRANSBOUNDARY DISPUTE
PRIVATISATION
LESSONS LEARNED:
Water crossing international boundaries can cause
tensions between nations that share the basin. While the
tension is not likely to lead to warfare, early coordination
between riparian states can help ameliorate the issue.
A gradual decrease in water quantity or quality, or both,
is more likely than violent conflict. Over time, such water
decreases can affect the internal stability of a nation or
region, and act as an irritant among ethnic groups, water
sectors, or states/provinces. The resulting instability may
have effects in the international arena.
The greatest threat of the global water crisis to human
security comes from the fact that millions of people lack
access to sufficient quantities of water of sufficient quality
for their well-being.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. An institutional framework for joint management
and dispute resolution
2. Early intervention is also beneficial to the process of
conflict resolution
3. Water disputes can be resolved through active
dialog among disciplines.
