920 million people could face conflict over the world's rivers by 2050: what our study found in Africa

Retrieved on: 
Sonntag, Juni 25, 2023

Sudan and Egypt consider the US$4.6 billion dam a threat to vital water supplies.

Key Points: 
  • Sudan and Egypt consider the US$4.6 billion dam a threat to vital water supplies.
  • This is just one example of how conflicts can arise between states that share river basins.
  • Although cooperation historically prevails over conflict and large-scale violent international conflicts haven’t happened so far, tensions over water have long existed.
  • If nations improve water use, strengthen cooperation and do more to prevent or mitigate conflict, this number drops to 536 million.
  • Water treaties and strong river basin organisations increase the likelihood of long-term, stable cooperation between states.

Our research

    • It looked at hydroclimatic, governance and socio-economic risk factors.
    • Combining these factors provided an idea of the overall conflict risk per transboundary river basin.
    • A lack of cooperation between countries can lead to a loss of benefits that could arise from joint activities.

Our findings

    • In Africa, this number includes people living in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Somalia, Burkina Faso, Mauritania and Niger.
    • In the high ambition scenario – which implies improved water use practices and rising institutional resilience – this number decreases to 536 million.
    • Under this scenario, 724 million people would be living in very high to high conflict-risk basins by 2050.

What it means

    • Seven of these dams would be in Ethiopia, and the other four would be in South Sudan.
    • The construction of these dams would be happening alongside rising water shortages, high water dependencies and limited economic resources to deal with water-related risks.
    • In these two basins, multiple issues, such as local conflict, low human development and limited water availability already collide today.
    • For example, when large hydropower dams are built, their operation must not hinder the climate adaptation goals of the wider region.
