520 _a"Remember the last time two nations went to war over water? Probably not, since it was 4,500 years ago. But today [2001], as demands for water hit the limits of a finite supply, conflicts are spreading within nations. And more than 50 countries on five continents might soon be spiraling toward water disputes unless they move quickly to strike agreements on how to share the rivers that flow across international boundaries." (FOREIGN POLICY) The author stresses the importance of freshwater to sustain life and examines how and why tensions develop over water scarcity.
