Answer 2

Water Supply have the greatest impact in limiting the growth of cities in the Middle East/Southwest Asia.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Southwest Asia (Middle East) is mostly desert which has less amount of rainfall. This region is most fond of underground water and they are drying out fast. Since the rainfall is less in these areas, the ground cannot have much water to store also. This made people shift to new places.

The demand for food and other products are increased rapidly since the population got increased a lot. Moreover, water is needed for food production and also for generating electricity.

Survival in those regions will become hard without water in future days forcing people to move to overcrowded cities. Thus the water scarcity, in turn, can affect the economic growth of the middle east countries.
