There are disagreements over control and access to natural resources in the Eurasian basin. The most discussed resources are crude oil, natural gas and mineral wealth. But one of the most heated debates - water. Eurasia's freshwater source, the Fergana valley, is where each country competes for access to rivers and canals. Sometimes the tension rises, local people resort to violence. More than 70 border conflicts took place between 2011 and 2015. Russia has stepped in as a mediator in every encounter and still no permanent agreement has been reached. There were more than 70 border conflicts between 2011 and 2015 alone. Most conflicts involved shared water resources. The Eurasian region, which is our focal point, is at the center of the conflict. Especially the competition for fresh water has turned into a source of deep conflict and war.
In this part of 10/10, we have included the water wars that await the region.
