Major incidents of water-related violence since the 2000s, by Cecil Marin (Le Monde Diplomatique)

The map only shows violent incidents (causing death or injury) or potentially violent incidents (verbal threats, military exercises, demonstrations of force). Adverse effects of water management decisions (such as displacement of local populations to build dams) or extreme weather effects such as floods and droughts are not shown. Individual incidents are mentioned as examples.
