Comment on this resource
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. In the Middle East, this resource was usually water. Maps of the region and its water sources are also available.
