Name 3 ways middle east countries compensate for not having water

Social Studies
1 answer:
Dmitrij [34]3 years ago
7 0

A water scarcity report issued recently as a collaboration of several U.S. intelligence agencies predicts that the likelihood of conflict over water will increase in the coming decades. The report argues that the Middle East, as perhaps the most water impoverished region of the world, will be particularly susceptible to so-called “water wars.”

The strain on the global water supply is the result of a number of factors. First, most of the Earth’s water is simply unavailable for consumption, sanitation, or agricultural purposes because 97% of it is salt water. Of the remaining 3%, only 1% is available for direct human use. Moreover, in some areas of the world, the available freshwater supply is being depleted faster than it is being replenished. Saudi Arabia, for example, gets 70% of its water from 21 aquifers where water is being extracted faster than nature can restore the supply. In the case of Yemen, the state’s current water demand exceeds its renewable water resources by 900 million cubic meters per year.

As the world’s population continues to grow, the demand for water will increase correspondingly. The high population growth rates, hovering around 2% in the region compared to the world average of 1.1%, and paucity of arable land in the Middle East will make water shortages in the region particularly acute.  The United Nations predicts that by 2025, 30 countries will be water scarce, out of which 18 will be in the Middle East and North Africa

How did the three river valleys differ from each other?
scoray [572]

Answer:

A river valley civilization is an agricultural nation or civilization situated beside and drawing sustenance from a river. A "civilization" means a society with large permanent settlements featuring urban development, social satisfaction, specialization of labor, centralized organization, and written or other formal means of communication. A river gives the inhabitants a reliable source of water for drinking and agriculture. Additional benefits include fishing, fertile soil due to annual flooding, and ease of transportation. The first great civilizations, such as those in Mesopotamia, Harappa and Ancient Egypt, all grew up in river valleys. Tigris River flourished near Mesopotamia civilization and river nile flourished near civilization of Egypt.

Ancient mythological and religious tales often ascribe catastrophic events to the anger of God or the gods. Do you think any of
adoni [48]

Answer:

All catastrophes are Natural event, though God uses them to teach and prove to us, that he is God and we are his subject.

Explanation: Catastrophic events can be called natural disasters, which occurs as a result of some natural reactions, which has taken. For example before a flood can occurs, it means that the sea level is high, or they is poor drainage system in that area. For a volcanoes eruption to occur magma must be formed, when the earth mantle melts. Which rises to the surface of the earth.

Just like the earliest recorded disaster, which is the Eruption of Vesuvius in 79AD, which swiped out the city of Pompeii in Rome , killing about 10,000 people. I don't think any God can have this wish to kill 10,000 persons with just one strike. God is a merciful spirit. The Eruption of Vesuvius happened to Rome, a country that has religion all over they empire, that if this natural disasters is caused by God, he won't want to send just to any empire of Rome.

In the olden days many people believes that lightning and thunder are the weapon of the gods upon the evil ones, to strike them to death. For instance if someone wearing a white garment while it is raining with thunderstorms. When thunder and lightning strikes, the person is likely to be caught with the lighting and shrink to death, people will believe that he is evil and the gods has killed him. With a poor knowledge that lightning captures light or white more easily.

People also thinks that when earthquake happens, then the gods have come to fight the wicked, with out know that this is an event lead by the activities of man to it's environment.
