EricksonMarine Corps University Press (MCUP)979-89-86259-49-9 979-89-86259-48-2 "The issue of freshwater scarcity has always been of vital concern to humans, and today it is increasingly characterized as a strategic factor in security planning. In the Euphrates-Tigris basin, water apportionment and management combined with climate change are increasingly emerging as threats to regional stability. The United States has a long-term strategic interest in the Euphrates-Tigris basin that, in turn, is directly linked to the national interests of the riparian states. The expanded second edition of Strategic Water: Iraq and Security Planning in the Euphrates-Tigris Basin updates analysis of the geopolitical situation and expands coverage of the aspirations of the basin countries. Finally, the book presents new conclusions and a proposed framework for action in the next 10 to 20 years"--Provided by publisher.Water-supplyPolitical aspectsEuphrates River WatershedWater-supplyPolitical aspectsTigris River WatershedWater securityEuphrates River WatershedForecastingWater securityTigris River WatershedForecastingClimatic changesEuphrates River WatershedForecastingClimatic changesTigris River WatershedForecastingGeopoliticsEuphrates River WatershedGeopoliticsTigris River WatershedUnited StatesForeign relationsIraqIraqForeign relationsUnited StatesWater-supplyPolitical aspectsWater-supplyPolitical aspectsWater securityForecasting.Water securityForecasting.Climatic changesForecasting.Climatic changesForecasting.GeopoliticsGeopolitics333.91Lorenz Frederick M.1946-1405242Erickson Edward J.1950-Marine Corps University (U.S.).Press,BOOK9910741373303321Strategic water3481331UNINA
