In a never-ending battle to match population growth with food and
energy production, the countries of the Middle East have been
frenziedly developing water resources, including international
rivers and groundwate, without considering their neighbors' needs.
The inevitable result has been more frequent and increasingly
bitter conflicts. At the same time, a halting Arab-Israeli peace
process spurred by the collapse of the Soviet Union continues. Are
we indeed entering a new era in a new Middle East? Do the region's
leaders understand that reality has changed and that a transition
is inevitable? Focusing on international rivers and ground water in
the region, this timely study provides thoughtful_if
pessimistic_answers to these questions. Encompassing all water
sources in the Middle East, Arnon Soffer thoroughly explores the
Nile, Tigris, Euphrates, Jordan, Orontes, and Litani Rivers, as
well as international groundwater. He also weighs the implications
of going to war over water and such unconventional solutions to the
water shortage as desalination and importation.
