Model development of water conflict for peaceful management of international river basins

Abstract

Rapid increasing water demand due to population growth with supply constraints under climate change might be raised up the risk of transboundary water conflicts. So far, it is not clarify that water scarcity really was affected on the occurrence of international water conflicts. In this study, we statistically explored the relationships of water conflict to several institutional factors as well as level of water scarcity in international river basins.
