Abstract:
|
"Differential access to water resources are an often-cited source of conflict among water users. Conflicts over water can range from minor intra-household disagreements to major violent confrontations between communities over the use of water for agricultural and industrial purposes. This paper explores the relationship between inequality of access to water resources and the emergence, management and resolution of conflicts. It focuses specifically on water resources used for irrigation and the ability of farm communities to prevent and/or manage conflicts over access to irrigation and the ability of farm communities to prevent and/or manage conflicts over access to irrigation. The paper will synthesize the body of literature on conflicts over access to irrigation water and attempt to draw lessons concerning conflict management for other types of common property resources."
