Climate change is an important catalyst but not the main culprit for all our #water problems around the world. A majority of these problems result from decades of bad management by local policy makers. Addressing #ClimateChange globally doesn't change bad management locally.Addressing #Iran's #water problems requires a strong political will, not #technology. Today's situation is indeed the result of the never-ending delusion of the possibility of solving a #policy problem through technical solutions.
Water is not always the main cause of conflicts but is an important catalyst to social instability. The relationship between #water, #environment & human #security in #MiddleEast & #Iran has been seriously overlooked!

Paper: https://rdcu.be/۲۳۳s #Drought #CaliforniaLet's not forget that the shade balls have been in use for water quality control for a long time and #water saving can be their fringe benefit, but using them for the sole purpose of #evaporation reduction (as the social media told us) is not wise, given how costly they are!Can the #MiddleEast solve its #water problem? Home to ۶٪ of the world's population, yet just ۱٪ of the world's freshwater resources, Middle East is facing serious #WaterSecurity issues. #Desalination is a popular expensive solution, but is it #sustainable?
