EXPLICATING SECURITY IN TRANSBOUNDARY WATER SECURITY DEBATES: A CRITICAL APPRAISAL
EXPLICATING SECURITY IN TRANSBOUNDARY WATER SECURITY DEBATES: A CRITICAL APPRAISAL

Summary/Abstract: The appropriation of the concept of water security by diverse disciplines has contributed to widening the debate on water security rather than deepening it. Hence, water security is often associated with food, health, and ecology; human, environmental, and national issues; economic development, climate change, and others. Moreover, water security is often expressed as water scarcity, as a sub-set of environmental security, and as transboundary water security issues. Nonetheless, a comprehensive understanding of water security requires a close and critical examination of the variants of water security debates. Thus, this paper comprehensively and critically reviews the notion of security in the water security debate.
