Today I
am just going to post a quick article. I already told you that I going to talk
about the link between freshwater resources and the people. I will try to see

at least, I hope so). You know the name of your country, your city and your
street. BUT! Do you know the name of the biggest river of your country? Do you know the name of the waterhole which you depend on for
survival? In the case studies, I will touch on in my following
posts. We will see that watersheds can be source of tension between countries.
Time to explore:

« The second link, is also an amazing website about a lot of climat issues. I highly recommend you to have a look at it. »
