Hydropolitics

Hydropolitics refers to the political and strategic aspects of water resources and their management. It involves the ways countries negotiate, collaborate, or conflict over shared water sources, such as rivers, lakes, and aquifers. As water scarcity increases due to climate change, population growth, and pollution, hydropolitics has become increasingly important. Nations may seek to secure water rights, develop infrastructure, or engage in treaties to ensure access to freshwater. Successful hydropolitical strategies promote cooperation, while poorly managed water disputes can lead to tension or conflict between countries.
