Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper discusses the growing water scarcity in the Middle East region. The interrelatedness of the region's water resources makes cooperation imperative but, unfortunately, the countries involved have a poor record of regional cooperation. Four examples are discussed: the Nile river basin, the Persian Gulf region, the Jordan and Yarmuk river basins, and the water-rich areas of Lebanon and Turkey. Finally, the growing awareness of the issues, together with some initiatives to tackle the problems are presented.
