This is HD programs shown and devised by TV producers and environmentalists for a type of conflict due to an acute shortage of water for drinking and irrigation.

The term has been used for some years to describe disputes in the southern and south-western United States over rights to water extraction from rivers and aquifers. (texto oficial do distribuidor)
