Auteur :
SMITH, D.R.

Description :
The paper examines the distribution of water and the location of physical and political boundaries in Central Asia, identifies indicators of the susceptibility of its various regions to resource and water-related conflict, and then applies those indicators to discover the potential for future water-based resource conflict. Water quality and regional social unrest as a consequence of migration from regions of environmental deterioration are examined.
