Abstract
Lack of water disrupts the security and development of countries and leads to their instability. During the last few decades, numerous natural and human factors have involved many challenges in the quantity and quality of water and sustainable access to healthy and sufficient resources. The threat to the survival of life and habitat has turned water security into one of the security research questions. The current research has a fundamental nature in the form of the Copenhagen school regarding environmental security, with an explanatory-analytical approach, it is devoted to the processing of the concept of water security and its dimensions and angles. The research results showed that water security in national and transnational scales can affect national solidarity, territorial continuity and spatial interaction of political-spatial units. The challenge of water security on a national scale is the creation of insecurity arising from the lack of stable access to water resources for citizens, which disturbs the stability and security of political-spatial units and leads to the challenge of the legitimacy of the political system. Water insecurity on a transnational scale (regional and international) often manifests itself in the form of tension and conflict between countries. Therefore, the wide operation and increasing limitation of water resources has placed this strategic natural phenomenon in the security agenda of many countries.
