This is utterly shocking. At this rate, major international confrontation will not be due a shortage of food either caused by famine or the folly of mankind or guns.
It will be caused by mankind diminishing the availability of water especially in vastly populated areas deep in the hinterland and far from river tributaries.
To cite examples:
1. The fear of a dry Mekong River in Thailand.
VIENTIANE — Mekong River levels in parts of Laos have hit their lowest in 50 years.
The situation has alarmed the millions who depend on what is the world’s largest inland fishery with an estimated annual catch of about 3.9 million tonnes, according to the Mekong River Commission.
What’s causing it?
China, which has eight existing or planned dams on the mainstream river, insists that extreme dry weather conditions are to blame for the current shortage — a claim backed up by findings of the intergovernmental MRC.
This affects the four lower Mekong countries — Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam

2. The drying up of the Aral Sea
Once the world’s fourth-largest lake, the sea has shrunk by 90 percent.
The shrunken sea has ruined the once-robust fishing economy and left fishing trawlers stranded in sandy wastelands, leaning over as if they dropped from the air. The sea’s evaporation has left layers of highly salted sand, which winds can carry as far away as Scandinavia and Japan, and which plague local people with health troubles.
What caused it?
The rivers that feed it were largely diverted in a Soviet project to boost cotton production in the arid region.

Alarming isn’t it?
