Water bargaining

Horizons No. 142

Water plays a role in conflicts, and water scarcity is becoming an ever-bigger problem on account of population growth and climate change. The focus of this issue is on how low-threshold conflicts around water can be resolved, and how water scarcity can be countered in the canton of Aargau, in Switzerland as a whole, and all around the world.

Horizons No. 142 (in German)
  • “Disputes over water inevitably end in compromise”
  • Water: the lifeblood of peace
  • Preparing for the droughts of the future
  • Saving our drinking water
  • In pictures: Under the bleached skies of California
