I think that all countries that rely on the Nile River as their source of water all have similar problems e.g. increasing population and thus increasing demand and therefore a sustainable agreement that is backed up by statistics may be the best option. By being backed up by statistics, every country will be allotted a sustainable amount which meets the demand of their population; no country gets more or less than they need. However this may not be feasible in the short term as smaller nations are still suffering from internal conflicts and they may not have the capital to collect these data. In addition, each nation has different political, economical and social power and thus those countries who lack in one or more of these factors may not have a voice in the agreement. ]]> 2020-05-05 03:50:08 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/2sievkhg4hknwcqn/wish/551013626 https://padlet.com/list4/2sievkhg4hknwcqn/wish/551013708 In essence, there are a multitude of physical, economic, political and social factors that cause international conflict over access to freshwater. In this case, political factors have an arguably larger role than others, given that most of the conflict has arisen due to the inability to form effective agreements and treaties that satisfy all stakeholders such as Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan mainly. Moreover, in this case, the lifting of political tensions will make the conflict resolution much easier since countries will have an increased sense of collaboration and trust amongst them to promote sustainable use of the freshwater resource for the future. Nevertheless, physical and social factors may become more apparent over time given that climate change has clear impacts on the drought prone areas of Northern Africa and population growth is a current issue in these countries - overall, these will translate to further pressures on the Nile as a shared water resource. Trans boundary agreements are pivotal in attempting to  satisfy the interests of stakeholders as well as possible - with sanctions being significant as a means to maintain effective agreements amongst countries. ]]> 2020-05-05 03:50:16 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/2sievkhg4hknwcqn/wish/551013708 https://padlet.com/list4/2sievkhg4hknwcqn/wish/551075669  All in all, there are many underlying reasons that have caused an international conflict over access to freshwater. The increase in population has, therefore, increased aggregate demands for water for drinking, eating, washing etc. Economic development is also a factor that has increased demands as countries are producing more goods and services, especially industrially and agriculturally, which all heavily depend on water resources. To make matters worst, there have been treaties claiming ownership of the Niles, despite the river running through many countries. This means that the supply of water from the Nile is not equally distributed and accessible for other LICs to use.  Egypt and Sudan, for instance, claim to have the law on their side due to the treaty signed in 1929 and 1952, which granted full utilisation of the Nile river. Despite countries such as Ethiopia and other upstream states supplying 86% of the river's eventually flow, they were not able to utilise water from the Nile river. As a result, conflict arose from other neighbouring countries claiming that they should have access to the river as well.]]> 2020-05-05 05:03:58 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/2sievkhg4hknwcqn/wish/551075669
