Question

What is the most pressing challenge facing the Middle East in terms of its water supply?

A) general scarcity
B) pollution from farming
C) pollution from industry
D) bacterial contamination

Answer 1

A) general scarcity

Step-by-step explanation:

general scarcity is a major problem for the nations of the Middle East. Every nation is taking measures to ensure that their supply of water will meet future demands.

Answer 2

Many places in the Middle East are basically a desert- especially Saudi Arabia, but also other places. Deserts are typically dry, so the biggest problem is a) general water scarcity.

This is also why the politics of controlling rivers and building dams is so important there - one country can effectively dry out another country if it controls the source of a river flowing into that country
