The Committee on Foreign Relations of the U.S. Senate has produced a report (pdf) on water conflicts in South and Central Asia, recommending that the U.S. do more to help prevent them.
The report is called “Avoiding Water Wars: Water Scarcity and Central Asia’s Growing Importance for Stability in Afghanistan and Pakistan.” It doesn’t explicitly address the chance of war between Tajikistan and Uzbekistan over water, but it quotes former CENTCOM commander Anthony Zinni saying: ‘‘we have seen fuel wars; we’re about to see water wars.’’
Phantom Report: U.S. policies recognize water as strategic importance, just as oil is a strategic importance. Water + crude oil resources = military industrial complex + NATO/US invasion. click report above for PDF document
