Water conflicts

Water conflicts arise when different groups or countries compete for the same water resources, such as rivers, lakes, or aquifers. These disputes can happen due to shortages, pollution, or uneven distribution, impacting agriculture, industry, and daily life. As water becomes scarcer with population growth and climate change, tensions increase, especially in regions where water sources cross political boundaries or are shared. Managing water fairly and sustainably is essential to prevent conflicts and ensure access for all, highlighting the importance of cooperation, effective governance, and conservation efforts.
