In this report, WRI, the Pacific Institute, and the Water, Peace and Security (WPS) Partnership offer potential solution sets to water challenges in key water-insecure hotspots around the world. Drawing on the report’s six in-depth case studies—from Iraq, Iran, India, the African Sahel, Central America and Yemen—as well as other recent research, the authors identify strategies to reduce water-related security risks. These solutions are organized into four broad categories: natural resources, science and engineering approaches; political and legal tools; economic and financial tools; and policy and governance strategies.
