- Abstract
Water resources are in many countries transboundary and as such, especially in arid regions such as the Middle East, may provide a basis for conflict. War almost broke out between Syria and Iraq following the construction of a dam on the Euphrates River by Syria. This is even more critical in cases where conflict exists due to other reasons. Such is the case with the Israel and the Arab neighboring countries conflict with the water issues between Israel and the Palestinian Authority being particularly complicated since they are intertwined in all aspects.
