Future Wars: The Looming Threat of Water Conflicts exploration of the increasing likelihood of future conflicts arising over water scarcity, a resource becoming more precious due to population growth and climate change. While large-scale "water wars" between nations have been rare historically, the discussion highlights the potential for intensified local clashes and the undermining of social order within and between countries. Several regions with shared water sources, like the Nile, are identified as potential hotspots for hydropolitical interactions. The construction of the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam is presented as a current point of major tension, particularly for downstream Egypt, which heavily relies on the Nile's water. Ultimately, while cooperation remains possible, the escalating pressures on global water resources suggest a future where competition and conflict over this essential resource could become more frequent.
