Seed Magazine just published the article, The Truth About Water Wars, in which seven experts debate and discuss the issue.
Okay, so I’m one of the experts.
From Maywa Montenegro’s article:
It’s often been said that the next resource wars will be fought not over oil but over water. Here, seven experts debate the past and present existence of water wars, consider the difficulty of owning a fluid resource, and examine the hot spots for future conflict.
Are Water Wars a Myth or an Imminent Threat to Global Security? Our Panel Responds:
- Mark Zeitoun, environmental engineer
- David Hatton, Australia’s “water czar”
- Fred Pearce, environmental journalist
- Tobias Siegfried, environmental physicist and international relations scholar
- Michael E. Campana, hydrogeologist
- Sandra Postel, water analyst and author
- Peter Gleick, scientist and global water security expert
