Water Potential for Conflicts and Confusion of Global HydropoliticsReviewed - Review

Profesor Ing. Josef Říha, DrSc.

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.

Keywords: Indikátor, ukazatel nedostatku vody, ukazatel zranitelnosti zdrojů, integrované posuzování rizika, princip předběžné opatrnosti, hegemonie, hodnocení vody,
