Download or read book Water and Conflict in the Middle East written by Marcus Dubois King and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the role of water in the Middle East's current economic, political and environmental transformations, which are set to continue in the near future. In addition to examining water conflict from within the domestic contexts of Iraq, Yemen and Syria-- all experiencing high levels of instability today--the contributors shed further light on how conflict over water resources has influenced political relations in the region. They interrogate how competition over water resources may precipitate or affect war in the Middle East, and assess whether or how resource vulnerability impacts fragile states and societies in the region and beyond. Water and Conflict in the Middle East is an essential contribution to our understanding of turbulence in this globally significant region.

Book Synopsis Water Politics in the Middle East by : M. Dolatyar
Download or read book Water Politics in the Middle East written by M. Dolatyar and published by Springer. This book was released on 1999-09-21 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most studies of water scarcity in the Middle East conclude that there is a significant risk of imminent conflict, even warfare, between states in the region. This book demonstrates that the evidence does not support this doom-laden prediction. Indeed, the authors show that although water scarcity has occasionally played a role in disputes in the Middle East, it has much more often promoted co-existence between adversaries. The reasoning behind this hypothesis is that water is too critical to be put at risk by warfare.
Book Synopsis Water Security in the Middle East by : Jean Axelrad Cahan
Download or read book Water Security in the Middle East written by Jean Axelrad Cahan and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2017-01-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water Security in the Middle East explores the extent and nature of water security problems in transboundary water systems in the Middle East. This collection of essays discusses the political and scientific contexts and the limitations of cooperation in water security. The contributors argue that while conflicts over transboundary water systems in the Middle East do occur, they tend not to be violent nor have they ever been the primary cause of a war in this region. The authors place water disputes in larger political, historical and scientific contexts and discuss how the humanities and social sciences could contribute more towards this understanding. They also contend that international sharing of scientific and technological advances can significantly increase access to water and improve water quality. While scientific advances can and should increase adaptability to changing environmental conditions, especially climate change, national institutional reform and the strengthening of joint commissions are vital. The contributors indicate ways in which transboundary cooperation may move from simple and intermittent coordination to sophisticated, adaptive and equitable modes of water management.

Book Synopsis Water In The Middle East by : Thomas Naff
Download or read book Water In The Middle East written by Thomas Naff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-08 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scarcity and rapid depletion of water in one of the world's driest regions continues to be a major determinant of the domestic and external policies of the major actors in the Middle East. Israel, Jordan, and the West Bank will have exhausted virtually all their renewable sources of fresh water by 1995 if current patterns of consumption are not radically altered. This study examines the hydrological, historical, legal, and strategic dimensions of water problems in the Middle East and discusses their implications for the future.

Download or read book Rivers of Fire written by Arnon Soffer and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 1999-02-24 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Conclusions on likely areas of conflict are set within the legal framework of the Helsinki and International Law Commission Rules.
Book Synopsis Greywater Use in the Middle East by : Stephen McIlwaine
Download or read book Greywater Use in the Middle East written by Stephen McIlwaine and published by IDRC. This book was released on 2010 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In water-scarce areas of the Middle East, greywater (household wastewater excluding toilet waste) is commonly used by poor communities to irrigate home gardens. This both supplements the water available to the household and improves food security. This book draws together material presented at a conference in Jordan in 2007, and examines the technical approaches to treating and using greywater for irrigation, including its associated risks to health and the environment. It discusses many of the non-technical issues that influence effectiveness and sustainability of greywater use. It also takes a hard look at economic issues, arguing that more clarity and consistency from policymakers is essential if low-income, water-stressed communities are to make better and safer use of their existing water supplies. The book concludes by offering suggestions for where donor efforts and research could best be focused in the near future.Greywater use in the Middle East is important reading for researchers, donors, implementing agencies, and policymakers, in the fields of water supply, water reuse, livelihoods and agriculture.
Book Synopsis Water in the Middle East by : J. A. Allan
Download or read book Water in the Middle East written by J. A. Allan and published by I.B. Tauris. This book was released on 1995-12-31 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water is one of the most important and potentially explosive issues in modern Middle East politics. It is an issue arguably far more significant to the region than oil. It has dogged relations between Middle East societies for centuries if not millennia and will continue to do so long after oil has ceased to hold sway. The editors of this book have brought together an impressive team of experts to examine all aspects of the water question. These include international law, shari'a, customs and water rights, international politics, the role of the World Bank, water management, the environment and pollution, commercial issues and investment in water, engineering and technology.
Download or read book Water on Sand written by Alan Mikhail and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-11-09 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Morocco to Iran and the Black Sea to the Red, Water on Sand rewrites the history of the Middle East and North Africa from the Little Ice Age to the Cold War era. As the first holistic environmental history of the region, it shows the intimate connections between peoples and environments and how these relationships shaped political, economic, and social history in startling and unforeseen ways. Nearly all political powers in the region based their rule on the management and control of natural resources, and nearly all individuals were in constant communion with the natural world. To grasp how these multiple histories were central to the pasts of the Middle East and North Africa, the chapters in this book evidence the power of environmental history to open up new avenues of scholarly inquiry.

Book Synopsis Water in the Middle East by : Karl David Hambright
Download or read book Water in the Middle East written by Karl David Hambright and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scarcity of water is a problem in many areas around the world. In this sense the Middle East which suffers from frequent droughts and a shortage of potable water, is not unique. However, when political disagreements among states combine with issues of fair and equitable access to common water resources, the problems associated with water scarcity seem intractable. In this sense the Middle East, and particularly the Jordan River Valley, is indeed unique. This enlightening book brings together the insights of scholars from Israel, Palestine, Jordan, and the United States who employ a broad range of perspectives and disciplines–engineering, agronomy, biology, economics, history, geography, and political science–to examine the significance of water in Middle East conflicts. These contributors do not offer facile remedies. Rather they show that any solution must be achieved within a political and social framework of peace, enlightened economic policies, and technical measures that take due account of environmental conditions. This volume is the result of the conference "Water in the Jordan Valley," sponsored by the Center for Peace Studies, a division of the International Programs Center at the University of Oklahoma.
Book Synopsis Managing Water Conflict by : Ashok Swain
Download or read book Managing Water Conflict written by Ashok Swain and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countries are meeting increasing water demand by building reservoirs and by diverting water from one area to another. When the water belongs to an international river system, these measures lead to riparian conflicts. However, water scarcity not only brings conflict to these regions, but also plays its part in building cooperation. In several international river basins in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, competing and disputing riparian countries are now moving towards a co-operative sharing arrangement. The signs of agreements on water sharing may be easy, but the real problem is how to keep these arrangements on track. Such agreements can positively contribute to peace and cooperation by addressing future needs, making sustainable decisions and being progressive in their management. Managing Water Conflict looks at these current stresses and likely future scenarios for this vitally important subject.
