About the Author

This pioneering and authoritative study con¬
siders the profound impact of the growing
global water crunch on international peace
and security as well as possible ways to miti¬
gate the crisis. Although water is essential to
sustaining life and livelihoods, geostrategist
Brahma Chellaney argues that it remains the
world s most underappreciated and under¬
valued resource. One sobering fact is that
the retail price of bottled water is already
higher than the international spot price of
crude oil. But unlike oil, water has no substi¬
tute, raising the specter of water becoming
the next flashpoint for conflict.
Water war as a concept may not mesh with
the conventional construct of warfare, espe¬
cially for those who plan with tanks, combat
planes, and attack submarines as weapons.
Yet armies don t necessarily have to march
to battle to seize or defend water resources.
Water wars
—
in a political, diplomatic, or
economic sense
—
are already being waged
between riparian neighbors in many parts
of the world, fueling cycles of bitter recrimi¬
nation, exacerbating water challenges, and
fostering mistrust that impedes broader re¬
gional cooperation and integration. The dan¬
ger is that these water wars could escalate
to armed conflict or further limit already
stretched food and energy production.
Writing in a direct, nontechnical, and engag¬
ing style, Brahma Chellaney draws on a wide
range of research from scientific and policy
fields to examine the different global link¬
ages between water and peace. Offering a
holistic picture and integrated solutions, his
book promises to become the recognized
authority on the most precious natural re¬
source of this century and how we can se¬
cure humankind s water future.
