Detailed explanation-1: -Water conflicts occur because the demand for water resources and potable water can exceed supply, or because control over access and allocation of water may be disputed, or because water management institutions are weak or missing.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water conflict in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) primarily deals with three major river basins: the Jordan River Basin, the Tigris-Euphrates River Basin, and the Nile River Basin. The MENA region covers roughly 11.1 million square km.
Detailed explanation-3: -Violence over water has happened for centuries. Ancient Nubia and Egypt even battled over the Nile. But there is a key reason the number of water-related conflicts are expected to rise-climate change. Increasing global temperatures causes more water to evaporate, changing the water cycle.
