description: Water is the most critical resource for the long-term sustainable development of the Middle East. Without an amicable agreement between the countries concerned to develop and use the scarce water resources on an equitable basis, no lasting peace is possible in the region. The water issue hasconcurrent political, technical, economic, and social dimensions. In order to examine these complex interrelationships and to propose some possible solutions, a Middle East Water Commission was established with leading international water experts as its members. This book is the final report ofthis Commission and is an outstanding example of how complex inter-country water issues can be analyzed. The book would be of direct interest to anyone interested in the management of international waters.
