| SUMMARY |

| Summary |
Allan (geography, Oriental and African studies, University of London) describes the availability and distribution of water in the Middle East, the region's reliance on imported water, and the possibility of solving the problem of water scarcity at the international (rather than the local, national, or regional) level. He also outlines the reasons economic and environmental imperatives are being ignored, and considers the role of water in international relations and law. |
| SUMMARY |
|---|
| Summary |
Is there enough water on this planet for a global population that will shortly double its present size? The answer is of great importance for people everywhere, but particularly to the peoples and political leaders of the Middle East and North Africa. In addition to explaining the particular issues of conflict in the region, Tony Allan argues that the answer to these problems lies at the global rather than local level. |
