How is water managed in countries where water resources are scarce.?

Question

can anyone give sources?

Answer 1

By war. Think of the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict. In 2002 Ariel Sharon tells the Israeli army radio the diversion of the headwaters of the Jordan river would be

grounds for war.

[N.B., This shouldn't be taken to imply that I believe Israel to be in the wrong. I do not. This is simply the state of resource allocation in the Levant.]

Answer 2

irrigation and stuff i guess

Answer 3

conservation: recycling where possible

storage: maximising capture of rain (rainwater tanks etc)

minimise loss through evaporation by storing underground.

Answer 4

I think it would be managed by who ever is nearby. If there's water where you live, you better make sure it stay there, because if not, bad things are gonna happen.
