AI's impact on our planet, especially water resources, is a paradox we cannot ignore.
AI proposes solutions to global challenges, yet its own sustainability is questioned due to significant water use for data processing and energy generation.
Countries sharing transboundary river basins often have conflicting demands over the available amount of water to be divided among them. Reaching an agreement often relies on available water data and forecasting. Negotiations over a water-sharing agreement or basin management arrangement benefit greatly from trust-building exercises, for example, conducting joint water data analyses or integrating scientific knowledge about water into the management decisions.
