Drought and Water Scarcity in the Middle East and it’s Legal Management
Message:
Abstract:

In recent decades, international scholars have been focusing on new issues that have played a significant role in shaping new policies at the regional and international levels, despite their initial non-political nature. Environmental issues and water scarcity are among such novel issues. Water problems, despite their global dimensions, have not become security-political questions anywhere on earth other than in the Middle East, affecting national and regional policies of the regional countries. The findings suggest that two phenomena of rising temperatures and shortage in short-term and long-term rainfall will pose fundamental challenges to the environmental security of countries. In addition to these factors, issues such as inefficient, traditional and small-scale management, and the culture of consumption and speculative domination of parts of societies have led to the decline of the country›s biological foundations, which are indicative of the destruction of forests, the drying of wetlands and permanent rivers, urban air pollution, burning of forests and pastures, changing land use and soil erosion. This paper is an attempt to identify the roots, dimensions and prospects of water crisis and drought and how to manage it in the Middle East. However, the available data suggest that the Middle Eastern countries are vulnerable to environmental threats and are unable to cope with the threat alone because of this, and have not yet been able to achieve an efficient regional organization.
