Abstract
I’m delighted to note two important changes to the Water Conflict Chronology since it last appeared in print in The World’s Water 2008–2009. First, a completely revamped electronic version now appears at http://www.worldwater.org, with integrated Google Maps; time, location, and subject filters; and a separate searchable bibliography. This is the first substantive redesign in more than a decade, facilitated by Matthew Heberger at the Pacific Institute. The second change is a substantive set of additions, with a major contribution from some readers, especially Pavlo Anakhov from Kiev, Ukraine.
