The
World
Water
Council
is
a
non-profit,
non-governmental
think
tank
with
a
mission
to
promote
awareness
and
build
political
commitment
on
critical
water
issues
at
all
decision-making
levels.
The
concept
for
the
Council
arose
at
a
1977
UN
conference.
Their
programs
emphasize
efficient
conservation,
protection,
development,
planning,
management
and
use
of
water.

Information
is
provided
about
water
concerns
and
issues
in
the
Middle
East.
The
material
includes
several
articles
about
water
policy
in
the
region,
where
many
countries
suffer
from
water
shortages.
The
scarcity
of
water
is
used
as
a
political
issue
and
lever,
particularly
as
population
growth
has
historically
expanded
to
the
limits
of
the
scarcest
available
resource.

This
report
discusses
how
natural
processes
and
human
activities
affect
the
interactions
of
ground
water
and
surface
water,
and
the
importance
of
considering
ground
water
and
surface
water
as
a
single
resource.
Topics
include
natural
processes
of
ground-
and
surface-water
interaction;
chemical
interactions;
and
the
effect
of
landscapes
on
these
interactions.
There
is
also

In
this
article,
The
Why
Files
examines
the
possible
finding
of
water
ice
on
our
Moon,
and
the
implications
for
this
discovery.
The
article
discusses
why
scientists
believe
there
is
water
on
the
Moon,
how
a
neutron
spectrometer
picks
up
the
unusual
presence
of
hydrogen
on
the
Moon
which
could
indicate
water,
what
scientists
hope
to
use
this
water
for,
and
where
this
water
may
have
come
from.
