老师，您好，请问以下这句怎么翻译好呢？我处理不好fuse with~~
Also, because of rapidly depleting water reserves, the border conflict with India could soon fuse with fierce rivalry over Himalayan rivers.
谢谢老师~~

For reference: In the same way, growing demand for energy is putting pressure on China to enforce its claims over contested offshore oilfields in the East and South China seas, estimated to harbour more than 200bn barrels of oil. Also, because of rapidly depleting water reserves, the border conflict with India could soon fuse with fierce rivalry over Himalayan rivers. In spite of a water-sharing agreement, China has continued building dams and irrigation projects on the upper stream of the Brahmaputra.
