Water Wars 1: Scarcity - Stuff They Don't Want You To Know

Quotes from the video:

“What if the next war is not fought over geopolitical dominance or ideology? What if the next war is a desperate struggle over water?”

→ In this context I am wondering what exactly is the difference between war and conflict. Has there been real wars over water or “only” conflicts? Where is the boundary?

“Today, water scarcity is common in some of the political most unstable regions. Water crisis are ongoing in the Middle Eastern, North African and South Asian countries, such as Israel, Egypt, Pakistan.”

→ I will do some research on the conflicts in Israel, Egypt or Pakistan.

“Some institutions argue that privatization may be the best way for developing countries to require the infrastructure necessary to supply clean water. This approach has mixed results, leading to social unrest in the local because the population can not afford the prices set by private utility companies.”

→ Why are there local oppositions against water privatization? What is the story behind this?

In the next day I will try to find some answers to the questions the YouTube video raises.
