### International Water Scarcity and Variability: Managing Resource Use Across Political Boundaries

Water scarcity and variability are major challenges facing many regions of the world. These challenges are only expected to intensify in the coming years, as climate change and population growth put increasing pressure on water resources.

In order to address these challenges, it is essential to develop and implement effective water management strategies. These strategies must be based on a sound understanding of the physical, social, and economic factors that affect water availability and use.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the international water scarcity and variability issue. It examines the causes and consequences of water scarcity, and discusses the various strategies that can be used to manage water resources across political boundaries.

The book is divided into four parts:

* Part 1: Introduction
* Part 2: Water Scarcity and Variability
* Part 3: Managing Water Resources
* Part 4: Case Studies

Part 1 provides an overview of the water scarcity and variability issue. It discusses the different types of water scarcity, the causes and consequences of water scarcity, and the challenges of managing water resources across political boundaries.

Part 2 examines the physical, social, and economic factors that affect water availability and use. It discusses the role of climate change, population growth, and economic development in water scarcity. It also discusses the various methods that can be used to measure water scarcity.

Part 3 discusses the various strategies that can be used to manage water resources across political boundaries. It discusses the role of water pricing, water allocation, and water conservation in water management. It also discusses the importance of international cooperation in water management.

Part 4 presents case studies of water scarcity and variability in different regions of the world. These case studies provide examples of how different countries and regions have managed water scarcity and variability.

This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the international water scarcity and variability issue. It provides a comprehensive overview of the causes and consequences of water scarcity, and discusses the various strategies that can be used to manage water resources across political boundaries.


International Water Scarcity and Variability considers international water management challenges created by water scarcity and environmental change. Although media coverage and some scholars tend to cast natural resource shortages as leading inexorably toward armed conflict and war, Shlomi Dinar and Ariel Dinar demonstrate that there are many examples of and mechanisms for more peaceful dispute resolution regarding natural resources, even in the face of water paucity and climate change. The authors base these arguments on both global empirical analyses and case studies. Using numerous examples that focus on North America, Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East, this book considers strategies and incentives that help lessen conflict and motivate cooperation under scarcity and increased variability of water resources.
