I've been very interested in the post-Soviet central Asian states ("the Stans" if you will) for a few years now and one thing that is talked about in their geopolitics is the eventual water shortage and what violence that would result in for an already extremely volatile area. How can the international community help these states avoid such disaster when their governments are pervasively corrupt and already distrustful of foreign (American, Euro, Russian, Chinese, etc) influence?
