It could be again, as Ethiopia plans four large dams. Water wars, potential or existing, could multiply due to population growth and global warming. The fight for fresh water in developing countries is a theme at the 6th World Water Forum this month in Marseille. Areas like the Sahelian zone, the Middle East, and South Asia face development with increasing water demands. The UN says around 1.2 billion people live in areas of water scarcity, and 500 million people are approaching this situation. The UN counts 37 water disputes involving violence in the past 50 years.

Wired into this edition of The Network is: from Cairo Hisham Kandil, Egyptian Minister for Water Resources and Irrigation whose government aims to ensure its Nile water quota. From the European Parliament in Brussels, Judith Merkies a Dutch MEP and Vice-Chairperson of the parliament's Water Inter group.
