This book presents both updated and new measurements on water resources from selective pilot areas form the Middle East. Demand for water has become very crucial notably in arid and semiarid regions like in the Middle East. The changing climate and the increased population are the most striking challenges on water resources in this region where the largest part of its territory is dry lands and deserts with minimal precipitation and high evaporation rates, and thus, the average per capita of water does not exceed 25 m3/year. This resulted in developing many studies and researches in different Middle East countries to clearly identify and assess the hydrological characteristics of the available water resources and to explore new resources in order to secure balanced water supply/demand. 

As a first of its type, this book introduces comprehensive knowledge on the successful reports of the use of satellite images in water studies in the Middle East, and the economic value resulted from adopting these techniques. Based on illustrated case-studies the book will represent a significant resource for a large number of experts, academics, researchers, engineers and different-level stakeholders including the decision makers.     




Amin Shaban is a Director of Researsh at the Lebanese National Council for Scientific Research (CNRS-L), Lebanon; and Professor at the Lebanese University, as well as he has been as  a Consultant for several international entities (e.g. UNESCO-IHP, UN-ESCWA , ENPI-CBCMES-European Commission, etc.) He has a Master degree from the American University of Beirut; Ph.D. from Bordeaux-I University, France; and he has achieved a Fulbright Program in the United States, at Boston University.
