Water And Nations
Water separates and connects states. By serving as a boundary or flowing across man-made borders, surface and ground waters require states to interact. With issues including navigation, the quantity and quality of water flowing from one country to another, or the environmental, economic and social impacts of infrastructure like dams or vast irrigation schemes beyond borders, such topics often become part of diplomatic interactions between countries. Results of such diplomatic interactions have yielded numerous bilateral and basin-wide agreements in recent decades, such as the '1964 Lake Chad Convention', the '1972 Senegal Agreement', the '1994 Danube River Protection Convention', or the '1995 Mekong Agreement', aiming at institutionalizing cooperative relations over time. Moreover, diplomatic efforts at the global level have led to two global conventions1 that codify generally accepted principles of international water law. At the same time, the role of water as trigger, amplifier or cause for interstate hostilities or even violent interaction has been widely discussed in academia and has placed it on the agenda of global actors. Historical records and contemporary experiences show that shared water resources can be both a source of conflict and of cooperation.
In spite of significant progress made on cooperation over shared water resources, they (similar to other environmental issues) pose some peculiar challenges to diplomats and diplomatic processes: First, water is mobile. Water flows, evaporates, and precipitates. It can be stored, but only in limited quantities and not permanently. Flows of surface and groundwater therefore often transcend borders while also maintaining a physical presence in different territories which challenges traditional claims of sovereignty. Water cannot be “owned” by one country as can coal reserves, oil, or forests.
Second, water is variable and the volume of water in a transboundary river, lake, wetland, or aquifer varies from year to year depending on precipitation and weather patterns, increasingly impacted by climate change. Exact measurements of water availability and forecasts are difficult and expensive to conduct, even with modern technologies. All planning and negotiations therefore take place with some, and sometimes high, uncertainty over the object of negotiation.
Third, humans and nature depend on water as the basis of life. This does not only concern survival of the individual, but also of the social fabric and the way economic and political systems have developed. In addition, water has a substantive spiritual significance for many people and societies, for example related to its holy status in many religions or indigenous cultures. Thus, governments making decisions about water have to consider many stakeholders, needs, interests, and values.
As a consequence, those responsible for addressing transboundary water problems have and still do struggle in addressing the complexity of shared water resources in an equitable, effective, and sustainable way. Likewise, research that analyzes these attempts has faced challenges in adequately addressing the multi-disciplinarity of the problem.

hi. i'm sure most of you have heard about iran's attack on israel. well. iran also threatened to attack the us if biden doesn't stop aiding israel.
i live in bellevue, nebraska. there is a military base here known as offutt air force base. under offutt is a bunker where the president will go if the country gets attacked. this is well known by most, if not all countries, including our enemies. it's where bush went during 9/11.
because of this, offutt will most likely be bombed if biden continues to support israel and iran goes through with their plans.
i appreciate that i have very rarely had to consider my own mortality and death in the same way palestinians have. now i think about it all the time.
i don't pray, but if you do, and it's meaningful to you, feel free to pray for me, my family, my friends, my pets, my city, everything and everyone in this city and the surrounding area.
of course, i greatly wish for biden to cut his support for israel, so we can be safer.
thank you for reading. stay safe everyone.
ps: i will be trying to emotionally distance myself from this, simply because i have to. if i don't i will legitimately lose my mind. i will obviously still be reblogging things about palestine, however.

Quote
Mio padre era un uomo brillante. Un vero iconoclasta, fiero e fiducioso in se stesso, un genio oscuro, egoista, crudele ed eternamente ottimista. All'inizio della carriera di venditore, uno dei suoi capi lo chiamò "anarchico figlio di puttana", e papà lo prese come il più grosso complimento che avesse mai ricevuto. Voleva che diventassi anch'io come lui.
