Risk of nuclear accidents is rising, says report on near-misses

[Vod]

If the world has a nuclear exchange, it will be between India and Pakistan.  Conflict between those two is inevitable.

Why do I say inevitable?  India needs water, and it is damming rivers to get it.  Those rivers flow into Pakistan, which also needs water.  Soon there will not be enough to go around.  Both countries are nuclear.

I would like to think there is a better way to fix that issue then go to nuclear war.

Name it.  You have almost a couple billion people who would be hanging on your every word.

How about sharing the water equally?  I know I know it seems silly and simple.  From my point of view the same could be said about unnecessary death and nuclear war.

So let's say India has enough water for 1 billion people.  They need water for 1.2 billion people.

They can easily get the water for 1.2 billion people by building more dams.

Are they going to let 200,000,000 people die for Pakistan?  When they have the power to prevent those deaths?  A leader would have to be insane to come to an agreement to let two hundred million people die.  Meanwhile those dams will cause 200 million people to die in Pakistan.

I tell you my friend - there is a finite supply of water and not enough to go around.  War is inevitable.

Well, there's lots of water during the monsoon.
But of course they would need proper planning and some common sense.
That's not going to happen any time soon.

One day we will make up to a non near-miss
And then we are all dans la merde

Let's believe for a bit in science?
Improved fusion reactor and desalination plants might overcome this problem.

I agree with the first part of your post, but disagree with the second part.

India mostly depends upon River Ganges and River Brahmaputra for water. R. Ganges originate within India, while R. Brahmaputra originates in Tibet. China is currently considering to construct a major dam in Brahmaputra, which will divert most of its water.

On the other hand, Pakistan depends upon R. Indus for most of its water needs. Some 75% of its waters originate within Pakistan, some 15% in Tibet and the remaining in India.
