World Water Day is led by UN-Water, focusing on water conservation and use, blending the natural and social sciences, education, culture, and communication.
Contrary to popular belief, the most valuable natural resource in the Middle East is water, not oil. People can live without oil. Nothing lives without water. Control of rivers and aquifers underlies the conflicts in the region and has for centuries. Religion is the excuse used to mobilize and conscript. Water is a primary reason.
