The water transfer pipeline from Calueque Dam in Angola to Namibia was in the middle of a theatre of the Cold War © A R Turton 1982
The pipeline was attacked on occasion for tactical reasons
Yet despite being a combat zone high levels of cooperation in the field of water resource management continued throughout the war © A R Turton 1982
This pump scheme is a strategic target but it was never attacked during the war although the delivery pipeline did become a tactical target on occasion At the analytical level it is important to distinguish between the strategic and the tactical scale In hydropolitics scale matters…. © A R Turton 1982

Now the Cold War guns stand silent as Southern Africa engages in reconstruction centered on the management of transboundary water resources The first regional protocol signed when South Africa joined SADC was the protocol on shared watercourse systems © A R Turton 1999

While the journey has been rough it has always been in one direction – ultimately towards peace and regional integration The mighty Zambezi is not easy to tame But it is an important regional resource that is shared…. © A R Turton 1995
Water and Cooperation • South Africa is a signatory to more than 70 treaties relating to water (research ongoing). • Three of the four international river basins in SA have a comprehensive basin-wide agreement and accompanying River Basin Commission. • The fourth is currently under negotiation (Limpopo). • During the Cold War these cooperative agreements floated like islands of peace on a sea of violence and mistrust. • This is the foundation for regional integration and postconflict reconstruction in SADC.
