Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The Mesopotamia region, within the boundaries of Turkey, Iraq, and Syria, is populated by different ethnic, national, and religious groups (Turks, Arabs, Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites), which have long fought over the control of its fertile lands. Since the early 1970's, there has been an increase in tension among these three countries, primarily related to the sharing of the waters of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. In particular, Turkey's development of Southeastern Anatolia, with water needed for agricultural and energy production projects, has been viewed as a threat to the well-being of Syria and Iraq. This water problem is likely to be exacerbated in the future, when water demand grows in both quantity and quality due to high population growth and urban development. This dissertation develops a water allocation optimization model that represents, in network form, the system made of the two rivers and their various consumption (agriculture, urban centers, hydropower plants) and transshipment nodes, including the possibility of transferring water from the Euphrates to the Tigris. The basic model maximizes the aggregate net benefits of the three countries, including the gross benefits from water uses in agriculture, urban functions, and hydroelectricity, minus the costs of water conveyance. The model is formulated as a linear program, and accounts for both evaporation and return flows from consumptive uses. In view of the uncertainty surrounding the values of several parameters (e.g., agricultural benefit derived from using a gallon of water), the model is used to carry systematic sensitivity analyses to identify the critical parameters. Next, cooperative game theory concepts (core, Shapley value) are used to identify stable water allocations, where all three countries find it beneficial to cooperate. These various analyses are carried out under different scenarios related to future energy prices, agricultural production efficiency, and total water availability. The policy implications of the results are discussed, and areas for further research are outlined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water is a strategic natural resource of vital importance to all nations. As such it has been the cause of several international disputes. For Turkey especially, water is crucial to social and economic development. Turkey’s current national water regime that emphasises water resources development and management for productive uses, however, faces growing environmental concerns and international criticism regarding transboundary water cooperation. Furthermore, EU accession requires Turkey to adopt an extensive and ambitious body of EU water law. To understand Turkey’s position to international water law, the national policies and socio-economic circumstances that impact water resources management need to be considered. This book fills the existing knowledge gap through a broad perspective and analysis of the current state of Turkey’s water policy and its management of both national and transboundary waters. It is a unique undertaking that brings together Turkish and international authors, practitioners and academics, covering all aspects of water management

This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to a variety of reasons, water resources on the globe are becoming scarcer. The degree of water scarcity and its political, economic and social implications are felt more severely in regions like the Middle East. The Euphrates-Tigris river basin is one of the major sources of water, but also a source of tension in the region. Unless cooperation is achieved among the riparian countries, namely Turkey, Syria and Iraq, in the areas of management, allocation and utilisation of the waters of the Euphrates-Tigris basin, growing scarcity may result not only in conflict, but also in further devastation of an extremely vital source. Recently, water has become a subject matter of international law, and formal and informal deliberations in international conferences have produced general principles and norms for using and managing water resources effectively. Hence, this book is an attempt to put together a meaningful set of principles, norms, rules, and decision-making procedures of a region-specific regime framework for effective utilisation of the waters of the Euphrates-Tigris river basin with a view to promoting cooperation among the riparian countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this study is to look into the hidden dangers of water disputes among Turkey, Syria, and Egypt. Everyone is aware of the fact that natural resources like water is the building block of development of any country. Water is a valuable resource that is becoming increasingly scarce. With the passage of time, a sharp increase in population rise and, rise in food demand will be observed. The Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, together, are vital to Syria's and Iraq's economy and domestic requirements. According to some estimates, the River Euphrates provides around 85% of Syria's total renewable water supply, while River Tigris and River Euphrates together provide about 100% of Iraq's supply. Turkey accounts for 88.7% of the Euphrates basin's total water potential. The researchers have employed qualitative methodology for the research underhand and adopted thematic analysis as research method for this study. Researchers analyzed different research studies related to the issue and considered cases to the research-based statements of the individuals in power on the issue of water. Researchers looked at a variety of research studies on the topic and compared them to research-based claims made by individuals in positions of power on the topic of water.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The states in the various regions of the world express that they will be able to set aside serious struggles to meet their water needs. However, since the 1980's Syria and Iraq, the southern neighbors of Turkey, have put forward some claims regarding the waters of Euphrates and Tigris originating from Turkey. These countries have tried various methods to hinder the workings on these rivers started by Turkey. Turkey states that the waters of Euphrates and Tigris are a symbol of peace and stability in the region for all three countries and that there is no problem to allocate it to her neighbors. This Strategy Research Project will illustrate the significance of the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers originating from Turkey and providing important water resources for Syria and Iraq. It will also explore the GAP project improved by Turkey to utilize the waters of these rivers rationally and summarize the thesis of riparian countries regarding the sharing of waters.

Book excerpt: Most recent studies and reports indicate that there is a significant risk of conflict over water sharing in the Middle East because of scarcity. Apart from exaggerating the scarcity of water resources and the likelihood of war, the major flaw of these assessments is that they just identify and do not solve the problem of water scarcity. The idea that water scarcity is the main source of conflict in the region is too narrow. Because water is so essential to life, even hostile coriparians have historically sought to compromise rather go to war over this resource, even as disputes have raged on other issues. The historical record is predominantly cooperation rather than conflict when it comes to water sharing. This thesis provides a clear description of why water scarcity has not caused a violent conflict between Turkey, Syria and Iraq in the Euphrates-Tigris River Basin.

This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reports the first systematic monitoring and modelling study on water availability, water quality and seawater intrusion of the Shatt al-Arab River (SAR) on the border of Iraq and Iran, where causes and concentration levels of salinity have not yet been fully understood, let alone addressed, leading to conflicting perceptions of its origin (external or internal), the natural conditions and the practices that can explain the current critical conditions. Current scientific knowledge on the SAR salinity problem is deficient, partially due to the complex and dynamic interaction between marine and terrestrial salinity sources, including return flows by water users of the different water sectors in the Euphrates and Tigris rivers upstream of the SAR. The development of a new series of monitoring stations and various modelling approaches helped to better understand the interactions between these different sources. The comprehensive and detailed dataset formed the basis for a validated analytical model that can predict the extent of seawater relative to other salinity sources in an estuary, and for a hydrodynamic model that can predict salinity changes. The adaptability of the models to changing conditions makes them directly applicable by water managers. The procedure can be applied to other comparable systems.

Download or read book Transboundary Water Cooperation written by Patricia Wouters and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China and its neighbours face a series of water security issues, in which international law plays a vital role. Paramount to both policymakers and researchers in the field of water law, the current status of transboundary water cooperation schemes and how these operate in China is of global significance. Grounded in international experience, this comprehensive volume provides readers with an up-to-date overview of current international transboundary water resource sharing policies and practices, including detailed case studies at both domestic and international levels. The authors discuss existing international laws, treaties, and principles that may stimulate transboundary water cooperation and dialogue, and then analyse a number of international experiences with treaties in North America, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia. They take stock of China’s water resource issues, legal practices and options, examine case studies of China’s southern shared rivers, and explore some innovative approaches to cooperative management of shared waters within China. The articles in this book were originally published in the journal Water International.

Download or read book Managing and Transforming Water Conflicts written by Jerome Delli Priscoli and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-04 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the one thing that no one can do without? Water. Where water crosses boundaries – be they economic, legal, political or cultural – the stage is set for disputes between different users trying to safeguard access to a vital resource, while protecting the natural environment. Without strategies to anticipate, address, and mediate between competing users, intractable water conflicts are likely to become more frequent, more intense, and more disruptive around the world. In this book, Delli Priscoli and Wolf investigate the dynamics of water conflict and conflict resolution, from the local to the international. They explore the inexorable links between three facets of conflict management and transformation: Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), public participation, and institutional capacity. This practical guide will be invaluable to water management professionals, as well as to researchers and students in engineering, economics, geography, geology, and political science who are involved in any aspects of water management.
