Water Potential for Conflicts and Confusion of Global Hydropolitics

In: Vojenské rozhledy: vojenskoteoretický časopis = Czech military review, Band 23, Heft 2, S. 128-140

Abstract

This paper addresses a gap in the literature relating to the effects and implications of water scarcity and the potential for water wars. The theme has evident military consequences. Experts provide rather pessimistic forecasts about the situation with freshwater on the planet. The early warning models seem to be quite useful as well as early warning conflict indicators. The author deals with the problem from the level of the Czech Republic.
