MENA Development Report |
| description |
Water -- the resource itself as well as
the irrigation and water supply services derived from it is
important for every country. It is fundamental to human
health, wellbeing, productivity, and livelihoods. It is also
essential for the long-term sustainability of ecosystems.
Here, in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, the
most water-scarce region of the world, good water management
matters even more than it does elsewhere. The report
suggests that MENA can meet its water management challenge.
People have a very real need for water for drinking and for
household uses. This domestic use, however, accounts for
less than ten percent of a typical country's water
consumption. Every country in the region has enough water
resources to meet domestic needs, even accounting for the
larger populations expected in the future. And policy
decisions can help improve the way drinking water and
sanitation services are delivered so that people get the
services they need. The bulk of a typical country's
water consumption goes to agriculture. This demand depends
on such factors as the structure of the economy,
people's consumption preferences, agriculture and trade
policies, and how efficiently water is used. These factors
can be influenced by policy choices. Similarly, countries
can protect their environmental quality with policy and
institutional choices. The necessary policy changes are far
from easy. Yet they are essential, and, when coupled with
improvements in accountability to the public, water
resources and services will support communities and promote
economic development and bring benefits to the entire population. |
