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. This document tries to gather and classify the various methods which the authors could meet in their personal experience or by bibliographic research.



This report is a contribution of the "international hydrological Program" of UNESCO to the "world Program for the evaluation of the water resources". 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.
