Water Resources Management in MENA

Français |  عربي 

The Middle East and North Africa Region (MENA) is the most water scarce in the world. Worldwide, the average water availability per person is close to 7,000 m3/person/year, whereas in the MNA region only around 1,200 m3/person/year is available. One half of the MENA’s population lives under conditions of water stress.  Moreover, with the population expected to grow from around 300 million today to around 500 million in 2025, per capita availability is expected to halve by 2050.
