Scroll down for videoResearchers used machine learning to identify 'pre-conditions and factors' that might lead to depleting water resources, particularly areas that contain water shared by bordering nationsWHAT ARE THE HOTSPOTS FOR FUTURE 'WATER WARS?' Researchers said the areas most likely to be hit by 'hydro-political' issues are those with already stressed water basins.
