Consider a case scenario of a political standoff between Chile and Bolivia over which country owns the rights to water that flows from Chile.
Much of this water supply for both of these countries is from snow that melts in the Andes.
Most of which end up in Bolivia due to the terrain of both countries.
Bolivians contend that since the water ends up in their country, they should retain the rights to this scarce resource.
The Chileans also contend that they should own those rights considering the fact that their habitats are some of the driest places on earth, home to the Atacama desert.
The Chileans have devised artificial reefs to retain the majority of the water in their country.
While the Bolivians have unsuccessfully argued their case at international courts.
