02 Second: the water problem has a political dimension

  • Water is one of the most important economic problems with a political dimension.
  • It appears between states in two cases:
    • when territorial and international waters are delimited on seas and oceans;
    • when the water of an international river is used and divided between the states sharing it.
  • Example of a sea dispute: the conflict between Libya and Tunisia over the maritime shelf after gas and oil appeared there — settled by the International Court of Justice.
  • In narrow straits disputes arise between the states facing each other, such as the Strait of Hormuz between Oman and Iran.
