The Centre for Strategic and International Studies held a discussion on overcoming the politics of water in the Middle East, focusing on the water crisis in northern Syria and Jordan. In Syria, the failure of the Alouk Water Station and Turkey's control over it has led to a severe water shortage in the Alouk region. Jordan, on the other hand, faces a growing water deficit and has been cutting supplies to farmers and the municipal sector. The article proposes a solution to these water issues through the development of geothermal resources in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Turkey, which can provide sustainable energy for desalination and make the countries food and water-independent.
