Land use and lack of water in the Middle East.


Today I am going to figure out the problem with the lack of water and how the land is used. I am in a discussion group today that talk about how they should use the water. 3 reasons that the water is not where it is supposed to be or is being fought over. They said it was the other countries fault by taking it. It causes friction between other countries doing so. They also blamed it on the other countries for using it for, "experimental ways". The crisis could become of war a few years from now. Another reason that they don't get a lot of water is because it doesn't rain much, and its climate is threatening them by changing. The other countries use the water to meet population requirements.

Now about how the land is used. I am visiting around the middle east. A lot of it is desert, so it cannot be used. A little bit is used for farming, and some is used for oil fields. I could't find a lot of ways that the land was and is being used. It looked all regular. Those were the only 3 I could find.
