Abstract
Central Asia’s ecosystem is reliant on region’s rivers and lakes. The conflicts over water resources still remain as a potential threat due to the unstable environment. The present article tries to explain the root causes of water crisis in Central Asia through answering the following question: The water crisis in Central Asia is leading towards divergence or integration? The elements such as USSR water management heritage, lack of access to energy resources, ambiguity in international rules, etc. the water crisis in Central Asia seems to lead to a conflict. Therefore international institutions are to strengthen regional integration for water resources.
