Book excerpt: Water scarcity is a fundamental challenge to sustainable development in arid and semi-arid regions. The problem in ESCWA countries is exacerbated by the fact that most of the water resources are shared and originate from outside the region. (The seven major shared surface watercourses have an average annual discharge of 195 billion cubic meters.) This study reviews case studies in shared water resources management in an effort to improve integrated water resources management (IWRM) in the region--Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the hydrological cycle is so intricately linked to the climate system, any change in climate impacts the water cycle in terms of change in precipitation patterns, melting of snow and ice, increased evaporation, increased atmospheric water vapor and changes in soil moisture and run off. Consequently, climate change could result in floods in some areas and droughts in others resulting in varying availability and the quality of water affects the quality of life, food security and also health security. This book examines the impact of climate change on water as well as health.

Arafat and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The water-energy nexus, on the one hand, refers to the relationship between the water used for the production of energy, as a renewable resource for hydroelectricity production, and the energy/electricity generation process itself. On the other hand, it refers to the energy consumed in the extraction, treatment, distribution and disposal of different types of water. ESCWA is implementing a UN Development Account Project on "Developing the Capacities of ESCWA Member Countries to Address the Water and Energy Nexus for Achieving Sustainable Developing Goals". The DA project targets to strengthen the capacity of ESCWA member countries to achieve an integrated and sustainable management of water and energy resources to contribute to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The project is implemented through two parallel and complementary tracks. The first track targets high-level officials in ministries responsible for water and energy while The second track focuses on water and energy public service providers.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The publication looks at the alarming current water situation in the Arab countries, with demand for water increasing exponentially as a result of rapid population expansion, changing lifestyles, urbanisation, and the pressures of economic growth. The high dependency of the region on transboundary waters and growing competition over water use further intensifies the water crisis. Furthermore, the repercussions of climate change will exacerbate these ongoing challenges. This water crisis is, at its core, an issue of governance, often managed by fragmented government institutions with inadequate capacities leading to inefficient provision of potable water and sanitation services. Lastly, the Arab region's current political and economic transformations present an opportunity to advance water governance reform, while effective water governance systems can in turn catalyse region-wide aspirations for overall good governance and sustainable human development.
