Water conflicts
Petorca, Chile - Avacados
Issues: TNCs operate in chile for avocado crops but large TNCs hoard water and can afford to build deep wells, allowing them to extract water from lower levels than the local people.
Smaller farms are unable to water their crops and the locals' water supply is regulated, whilst avocados are watered everyday.

In 2018, there were 167 inspections resulting in 9 fines against companies for illegal water use.

Under Chile's water code, water is treated as a commodity so companies can request water rights.

Sudan and Egypt fear the dam will threaten their water supply with the Nile being a lifeline for more than 300 million people.

The Jordan River, Israel & Palestine
Issues: Israel claims they have right to the mountain aquifer, primarily in Palestine's territory.

Israel controls the water source using 80% of it, which has caused Palestinian farmers to have insufficient water.
Since 2018, some Palestinian villages only receive water every 15 days.
Solutions: Any solution requires regional cooperation, which continues to be an issue for Israel and Palestine.
