▁equality ▁and ▁water ▁as ▁a ▁human ▁right . ▁However ▁countries ▁can ▁util ize ▁resources ▁however ▁they ▁please , ▁international ▁agre ements ▁exist ▁to ▁avoid ▁water ▁conflict ▁between ▁nations ▁through ▁efficient ▁water ▁allocation ▁practices . ▁ ▁There ▁has ▁been ▁a ▁proposition ▁in ▁a ▁more ▁bal anced ▁approach ▁for ▁water - sh aring ▁and ▁allocation ▁through ▁a ▁combination ▁of ▁large ▁scale ▁politics ▁on ▁the ▁international ▁level ▁and ▁smaller ▁scale ▁politics ▁( h ydro ps ych ology ) ▁rather ▁than ▁foc using ▁strictly ▁one ▁a ▁singular ▁approach . ▁This ▁bal anced ▁approach ▁would ▁include ▁policies ▁created ▁at ▁community ▁levels ▁and ▁national ▁levels ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁address ▁the ▁issue ▁of ▁water - sh aring ▁and ▁allocation . ▁Currently , ▁hyd ropol it ics ▁only ▁studies ▁water ▁at ▁the ▁international ▁level ▁and ▁hydro ps ych ology ▁studies ▁water ▁at ▁local ▁level . ▁The ▁failure ▁of ▁hyd ropol it ics ▁on ▁its ▁own ▁is ▁demonstrated ▁through ▁the ▁conflicts ▁that ▁have ▁occurred ▁in ▁the ▁past ▁and ▁present ▁between ▁nations ▁that ▁share ▁and ▁manage ▁water ▁together . ▁Thus ▁the ▁combination ▁of ▁hyd ropol it ics ▁and ▁hydro ps ych ology ▁would ▁assist ▁international ▁leaders ▁with ▁address ing ▁water - sh aring . ▁Both ▁hyd ropol it ics ▁and ▁hydro ps ych ology ▁have ▁different ▁approaches ▁on ▁dealing ▁with ▁the ▁matter ▁and ▁the ▁different ▁ideas ▁can ▁merge ▁to ▁create ▁a ▁more ▁complete ▁solution . ▁The ▁combination ▁of ▁hydro ps ych ology ▁and ▁hyd ropol it ics ▁will ▁also ▁assist ▁in ▁dealing ▁with ▁matters ▁such ▁as ▁virtual ▁water ▁trad ing , ▁river ▁linking
