Resumen
Descripción
In order to provide a rational analysis for the discussion on increasing water scarcity and potential for irrigation expansion in the Near East, AQUASTAT compiled existing information on the water resources of the Region. Similar to a previous study on water resources of African countries, undertaken in 1995, this survey is based essentially on country-based statistics and information contained in sector studies and master plans. Due account has been taken of the interaction of groundwater and surface water and the problem of transboundary flows.
