Mid-East water woe can only get worse

Article Abstract:

The per capita availability of water in the Middle East and North Africa has plunged by more than half from 3,000 cubic meter in 1960 to around 1,250 in the late 1990s. The per capita figure is projected to fall further to 650 cubic meter by 2025. In contrast, the region's population of 290 million has doubled during the period and is expected to double again in the next 30 years. The declining water supply is expected to increase the tension in the already volatile political and military conditions in the region
