Tracing disputes across the Brahmaputra, Tigris–Euphrates, Nile, and Jordan basins, alongside climate-driven scarcity and data-center demand, the article exposes a structural gap: water governance remains fragmented while infrastructure becomes strategic. Suleiman calls for stronger cooperation, crisis mitigation, and more equitable access to water as a public good essential to human security.
