Essay Instructions: Why is the water supply in the Middle East causing conflict?
|
| Water in the United States we take it for granted. We go to the faucet and clean, drinkable water comes out. That is not the case in other parts of the world. In this paper, I will look at how water shortage in the Middle East has become such a hot issue of today. In addition, I will explore the past, present, and the future of their diminishing water source, population growth, who it involves, and why it is causing them conflict. This paper will focus on Israel and Palestine. I will research to see if they have any current agreements between each other about the water, what are the main sources they share, and if they use de-salinization. This paper will also include a map that outlines the area of conflict between Israel and Palestine (i.e. Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea). This map will explain why there is an increasing conflict between the two. The map shows the water source, Israel’s security, and the countries that are fighting for an equal part.

In this paper, I will use the following sources to gather information and come up with a conclusion. The sources include:
Two website, http://www.mideastweb.org/water.htm, and another.
two, three, or four journal articles, “Water Wars in the Middle East: A looming Threat”. “Water Trade between Israel and Turkey: A start in the Middle East?”
Also including one book, “Water in the Arab World: perspectives and prognoses”.

Subject
Arizona – Land and Water an Intertwining Issue
It is no secret that the Southwest is largely a desert, so it is not uncommon for the land to be dry and parched. However, recent developments have shown Arizona will be facing several serious water management challenges throughout the next three decades. Land use planning and conservation are ways to help alleviate this, but they must begin now if the relentless drought and low precipitation that have been occurring are to be adjusted for. The people who live in that area must have water, but it is running out. Since it is not possible to make more water, what is available must last longer, and as the population grows it must be spread out between more people. Growth and development of Arizona are intertwined with water usage and it is necessary for water users, water managers, governmental and nongovernmental organizations to work together to control the depletion water resources through the use of conservation measures and proper planning for the land that is left.

Governments around the world have a primary concern over water and the Middle East and North Africa are no exception. In this part of the world, future water shortages can be catastrophic and the catalyst for future wars. Current conflicts, peace initiatives, and international relationships between nations in the region have water or the lack of water as a common element. In the future, water could be the primary reason for nation states to go to war.

A few considerations of many possiblities in no specific order:

a. Increase demand.
b. Decrease supply.
c. Population explosion
d. Region tension, disharmony, and centuries of conflict.
e. Significant border disputes.
f. Vague international and national laws.
g. Geography
h. Desert / drought
i. Economic growth
j. Pollution
k. New water exploitation methods

Establish findings and conclusions.

Essay Instructions: The research paper's topic is the war for resources. The topic is related to chapter six in the book Just Peacemaking. This paper needs to be nine pages long, not including the bibliography. The paper should discuss how we fight for resources; For example the Persian Gulf War was in large part a result of who were the owner and controller of oil there, any examples like that would be useful. In the chapter I am sending, it discusses how the next war will be for water. I need the paper to be about the resources we have fought for, the resources that we may or will fight for, ways of conserving the resources, and ways for fixing shortages of the resources. For example with the water shortages, maybe find a good way to purify salt water. On top of all this I need to tie all this into peace making. For example if we find a way to limit our resources so everyone can use them, we will live in a more peaceful manner.
There are faxes for this order.
