Water preservation takes on a special importance in the UN-ESCWA region, which is considered an arid to a semi-arid region. Ten out of thirteen UN-ESCWA countries are among the poorest 15 countries in terms of water resources. Inhabitants of this region, who represent 2.5 per cent of world population, receive less than 0.4 per cent only of renewable water resources yearly. Water is therefore at the heart of conflicts that riddle the region, especially that 80 per cent of water resources come from outside the region, which paves the way for conflict-eruption among neighboring countries.
