 er 22\, 2010\n17:30-18:30 in room R2-046 (Raymond Building)\n\nDr. David B
 . Brooks\nwill speak on\n“Water Wars: Myth or Threat?”\n\nAbstract: Author
 s\, journalists and politicians have all stated that\nthe wars of the 21st
  century will be about water. Even Kofi Annan\,\nthen Secretary General of
  the UN\, and Boutros Boutros Galli\, then\nhead of the UN Environment Pro
 gram\, made such statements. Perhaps\nthey will be true but\, if so\, wher
 e is the evidence? Historically\,\nnations have cooperated\, rather than f
 ought\, over fresh\nwater.  And this continues to be true\, even in such\n
 contentious areas as the Jordan River Valley. To be sure\, there\nwill be 
 conflicts over water\, but they are not very likely to be\nthe cause of in
 ternational wars. Instead\, conflicts are much more\nlikely to be intra-na
 tional\, between cities and rural areas or\nbetween environmentalists and 
 farmers.\n\n\nDr. David B. Brooks was educated in geology and economics. H
 e\nrecently retired after 14 years with the International Development\nRes
 earch Centre and is now Senior Advisor - Fresh Water for Friends\nof the E
