INTRODUCTION With continual increase in global population and increased natural resource consumption, natural resource disputes are inevitable.2 Natural resource disputes are inherently complex and difficult to settle. They may quickly incorporate remote issues, additional parties, and pressure from public attention where successful solution has several definitions.3 At the very least, the success of natural resource dispute resolutions should be measured by retaining the resource. Because many of these natural resources are limited, yet crucial for our survival, a more effective problem-solving approach is needed to conserve the quality and quantity of these resources. Proposed below is a new conceptual dispute resolution model, termed the Resource-Based Mediation System (herein referred to as the Resource-Based System), created to address the deficiencies in prior resource dispute practices, generate durable, long-lasting resolutions, and simultaneously conserve the resource.4 This model is applicable to most natural resources; however, water disputes are the primary focus in this introduction. 1 Copyright C 2013 Larry Long.
