520 _aWater shortages may lead to conflict or cooperation. This paper suggests conflcit only becomes likely when water scarcity threatens existence of populations. Assesses possible outcomes in Central Asia and concludes the Aral Sea problem could be resolved, whereas the position over the Ili and Irtysh rivers might become very serious for Kazakhstan if China extracts more water upstream to satisfy its own severe needs.
