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
Answer: All of the following statements are true regarding a short sale <u>except:</u>
- Legal costs should be lower with a short sale than with foreclosure.
Explanation:
A short sale is when an owner <u>sells his house for less money than he owes </u>in the payment of the property. The homeowner negotiates a discounted payment with his mortgage company without having to arrive with cash to cover the deficit. At the end of a short sale, the mortgage and property liens will be considered satisfied and any foreclosure process will be stopped.
Foreclosures are made by people who really do not have the money and cannot settle small fees. Although this will give you more credit deductions, <u>you will save any fees charged.</u>

Answer:
William used the tactic of a false retreat in an attempt the break the shield wall and lure English troops off the ridge. Harold's brother Tostig, joined forces with Harald Hardrada. The wind changed direction allowing William to sail to England when Harold was in the north defeating Harald Hardrada.
Explanation:
William changed his tactics and moved his archers from the front of the battlefield to behind the infantry. The change in position of the archers meant that, rather than flying over the heads of the horsecars, their arrows hit the Anglo- Saxon army squarely and caught them by surprise.
