Project report - Climate change
Countries such as Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia are examples of water shortages whose risk of vulnerability is close to 80%. In such a complex political-religious geographic area, water resources can be a decisive trigger for war in the coming years. The threshold defined by the UN for water shortage is 500,000 liters per person per year. In the Middle East and desert countries, water shortages are beginning to be worrying. A Jordanian citizen receives 8,000 liters of water every two weeks if his house is in the north. Jordan is the second country with a shortage of this basic resource in the world. Added to these difficulties is the government bureaucracy to access drinking water at a time when the Arab nation is desperately seeking supplies. Its annual renewable water resources are less than 100 cubic meters per person.
