Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

The Middle East is said to be in a “water crisis” because of

A	A water scarcity
B	A cold climate
C	Extreme water pollution
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Water scarcity is a significant issue in the Middle East due to its arid climate and high population growth. Many countries in the region are considered to be among the most water-stressed in the world, with limited freshwater resources and high water demand levels.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water scarcity is increasingly fueling conflict in the Middle East, for example, in Khuzestan, in the southwest of Iran. The province literally dried up. One of the main reasons are the dams build in Iran itself and in Turkey. Khuzestan is an oil-rich province on the border with Iraq.

Detailed explanation-3: -Overall, the Middle East is the region with the highest rates of water scarcity, and the effects carry an impact beyond borders.

Detailed explanation-4: -Middle Eastern river systems. The claims over rights to water in the Middle East are centred around the area’s three major river systems-the Nile, the River Jordan, and the Tigris-Euphrates river basin.
