Rivalry - is derived from River

http://www.iwwa.info/wv2030web/wv2030.htm

Water has always been both blessings and a source of conflict.
There are biblical accounts of fights over water.

Moreover the English word “rivalry” derived from Latin’s “rival” basically means “one using the same river as another”.

John F. Kennedy once said whosoever solves the water problem should receive two Noble Prizes—one for science and one for peace. Kennedy’s words still ring true today.
