The most likely source of political and social unrest in the Middle East over the next twenty years is not warfare or military coups--it's water. Ten of the 15 most water-poor countries in the world are in the Middle East, and agricultural policies in the region are depleting already scarce groundwater reserves at an alarming rate. If this process continues, it will undermine the strength of governments that tout their control over water as a political success. Preventing crisis will require all the political will, governance skill and leadership that Middle Eastern governments can muster. The CSIS Middle East Program is working to frame water in a way that strategic thinkers in the Middle East can grasp, much as they already think about military balances, population, and economics. To that end, CSIS has published, Clear Gold: Water as a Strategic Resource in the Middle East, a traditional analysis paper discusses how water shortage makes governments in the Middle East strategically vulnerable, and how leaders can manage this vulnerability in an equally strategic way. CSIS also created short videos that capture the essential points of the report and draws viewers to reading it.

This book contains international perspectives that unifies the themes of strategic management, decision theory, and data science. It contains thought-provoking presentations of case studies backed by adequate analysis adding significance to the discussions. Most of the decision-making models in use do take due advantage of collection and processing of relevant data using appropriate analytics oriented to provide inputs into effective decision-making. The book showcases applications in diverse fields including banking and insurance, portfolio management, inventory analysis, performance assessment of comparable economic agents, managing utilities in a health-care facility, reducing traffic snarls on highways, monitoring achievement of some of the sustainable development goals in a country or state, and similar other areas that showcase policy implications. It holds immense value for researchers as well as professionals responsible for organizational decisions.

Due to inadequate rainfall, groundwater has acquired a vital role in the development of Pakistan's agricultural economy. However, a lack of awareness concerning the use of groundwater, either by itself or combined with canal water, has added large amounts of salt to the soil. As a result, large tracts of irrigated lands are already salinized, while many others are under threat. This report presents the results of a modeling study carried out to evaluate the long-term effects of a different quality of irrigation water on root zone salinity. The simulations were performed for the Rechna Doab (sub basin of the Indus Basin) in Pakistan, by using 15 years of actual rainfall and climatic data.

This book discusses theoretical and technical innovations in water resource management. Chapters cover such topics as groundwater recharging technology, cumulative groundwater impact assessment, depletion and deterioration of groundwater, and identification of water inrush using various multiple non-linear machine learning models. Also discussed are the evaluation of rainfall time series and the use of fractal analysis. Finally, the book contains information on the governance crisis and governability of the use of groundwater in arid zones.
