Abstract

This paper examines the role of shared water resources in establishing Territorial Cooperation. To do so, the Abarkooh basin which lies on the border of Yazd and Fars provinces has been singled out as the case study. Across this basin, all the upstream and downstream villages exploit a common Groundwater reserve. Until late 1970s, the exploitation of the common Groundwater took place based on a systematic relationship between the basin’ s upstream and downstream communities, which was associated with geographical distribution of vital resources and Livelihood Differentiation. However, the traditional cooperation has turned into competition and social tension, which contribute to the destruction of the shared water resource. This study has deployed the research method of grounded theory in order to answer the questions: how the shared water resource can serve as the groundwork for systematic interaction and cooperation, and under what conditions such systematic interaction may turn into a competitive confrontation. According to our field studies, the geoghraphical difference between the basin upstream and downstream led to the different opportunities accessed by the human communities in each area. These different opportunities gave rise to the creation and development of different economic systems under a condition to which we refer as Livelihood Differentiation. Livelihood Differentiation in turn paved the way for the cooperative exploitation of the shared water resources. However, over the past decades, the exogenous socio-economic programs along with the climate change impaired the Livelihood Differentiation so that the traditional cooperation was replaced by competition.
