The Three Gorges Dam project is located on the middle reaches of the Yangtze and is by far the biggest dam in the world. It has a height of 185 m, with a water level of 175 m, and its width of 2,316 m is equivalent to the span of the Golden Gate Bridge. The dam promised to generate 84.7 billion kwh per year, which is the capacity of 18 nuclear power plants, to hold back floods from the upper and middle reaches of the river, and to facilitate the passage of 10,000-tonne ships to the inland regions.

| Summary/Abstract |
Water resource-related issues originate from sharing of river water, population explosion, urbanization, industrialization and environmental degradation. If the river has a trans-national or inter-state course, it can intensify international or national disputes over water. Water disputes have turned into complex realities of the international world order. “Too often, where we need water, we find guns instead” stated by Ban Ki-Moon 2008 sums up the distresses.

No individual is self sufficient unto himself. He/she has to enter into a fabric of social relationship for growth and development. They cannot live in isolation. A man who can live without other beings is either a God or a beast. (Malhotra, V.K. – 2001). In modern times, we can safely say that no nation or country can live in isolation. For community living, relationship is a must. Coexistence of the nations is the order of the day. (Malhotra, V.K. - 2001). He/she is social not by choice but by compulsion.

In shaping the human civilization, water is one of the prime ingredients. It is an utter necessity for our very survival and is indeed one of the most valuable resources that the earth has bestowed to mankind. In this planet, three-fourth of our earth’s surface is covered with water as opposed to 1/4th land, where only 2.7% of the water is freshwater that alone can be utilized. Therefore, the world’s fresh water availability in reality is not endless as perceived by us.

Many ancient civilizations center found on famous rivers — the Euphrates and the Tigris (Babylon), the Yangtze (China), the Ganges (India), and the Nile (Egypt) (Hussein 2014). The famous Greek historian Herodotus wrote in the fifth century B.C., ‘Egypt is the gift of the Nile’ (Swain 1997: 676). The Nile River basin act as ideal case studies to ask the following questions: 1) How do riparian states in transboundary basins achieve water security, and 2) In the face of increasing water scarcity, will efforts to achieve water security lead to increased conflict throughout the region or will they lead riparian states to cooperate in an effort to conserve their shared water resources? To answer these questions, importance given to the hydrogeography, history, and hydropolitics of the basins and riparian states (Ward and Roach 2010: 52).
