As global warming continues its assualt on our ecosystems, increased drought and water shortages will be two of its most significant impacts. Here is an outline of some of the top hot spots of future water conflicts according to ENN.

• India and Pakistan
• India and Bangladesh
• Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Palestinian Territories
• Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia
• Turkey, Syria and Iraq
  

These areas represent massive crossing points of culture, religion, historical unrest and oil, and given that they already represent some of the most significant areas of conflict in the modern world, the strain and the consequences of water shortages they face will be an additional destabalizing influence for all of us.
