Politik air itu apa sih?

Politik air, terkadang disebut hidropolitik, adalah politik yang terdampak oleh ketersediaan air dan sumber daya air, sebuah kebutuhan bagi seluruh makhluk hidup dan perkembangan manusia.

Definisi hidropolitik Arun P. Elhance adalah "kajian sistematik konflik dan kerja sama antar negara atas sumber daya air yang melewati perbatasan internasional".

Mollinga, P. P. mengklasifikasi politik air dalam empat kategori, "politik manajemen sumber daya air sehari-hari", "politik kebijakan air dalam konteks negara-negara berdaulat", "hidropolitik antar-negara" dan "politik air global".
