Abstract

The hydric conflicts are expressed various manners, according to the context; in particular, according to the local and regional conditions of development, of the cultural characteristics and, of course, of the hydrogeologic and ecological data. It is thus not easy to describe all the mechanisms.

It was conceived within the framework of a joint project between UNESCO and "the International Green Cross" named "From potential conflict to co-operation potential(PCCP): Water for peace "and realized thanks to the generous financial contribution of the Japanese government.
