- - - - Absolute scarcity (hydrological)
        
        The overall lack of precipitation to meet water demand. Caused by geographical location (arid regions)
      - Relative scarcity (socioeconomic)
        
        Socioeconomic factors that result in the uneven distribution of water / the inefficient usage of water (pollution)
- - - - Affects livelihoods of people dependent on the water bodies to make a living (eg Fishermen)
  - - - Laos and China building dams along Mekong, giving them control over water quantity and timing due to release of water
        
        Impacted local fisheries and aquatic species that depend on the seasonal variations of water release
- - - - minimal interaction
    - - Stable, collaborative management
    - - Share common goals, methods to reach goals vary
    - - Risk of escalation, unstable relations
  - - - Focuses on Quantity, timing
      - 56 years of peaceful sharing
      - Between India and Pakistan
    - - Focuses on Water Quality
      - 5 European states
      - Major pollutant reductions, robust monitoring
    - - Egypt, Sudan
      - Focuses on allocation
      - Unfair towards upper riparian states, contested
  - - - Oxfam inclusion project- Supports Mekong Fishing Communities
      - Every River has its People (Okavango)- builds local capacity for basin decisions
      - Integrated Rhine Programme- works with farmers to implement controlled flooding
