The water resources in the Middle East consist of those rivers situated mainly in Turkey, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt, and flow to other countries such as Iraq and Israel. The water it- self will face a scarcity in many of those countries as the population rate increases and water levels decrease. Therefore, a mutual effort between those countries to enhance cooperation is essential as many of those countries pursuit peace and stability in the region. As we know that the Middle East went through very crucial times in the past 40 years and witnessed three major wars where a lot of financial resources were consumed. The situation after the last Gulf War had changed and both the U.S. and Russia called for the peace process between Israel and its neighbors to overcome more than fifty years of hostility between them. In every negotiation, the water issue was and still is in the agenda, as it became very sensitive issue. A lot of scholars expressed their concern in looking at the deferent effects of water in the Middle East and how this issue would impact the deferent relationship among its countries.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
