Topic: To what extent does modernization influence water consumption patterns and vice versa? What is the role of tradition?

           If the current alarming trends in demography, economic development and water consumption hold on, is the Middle East going to

           face even more serious crises soon again? 

           Could a Community of Water and Environment be envisaged, having a value-added effect of mutual trust-building?
