Of those I would say water.

China and India/Bangladesh are already fighting over water from Tibet
(maybe a bigger issue than the Dalai Lama)
There are also water wars developing in Africa.

We are much more likely to have wars caused by a shortage of water than a
shortage of oil. As we are running short of potable, fresh water now. A
lot sooner than the end of oil. The earth is still creating oil and gas
deep in the ground, but fresh water is becoming more tainted and not being
created at the rate we need it.
