Negotiating hydro-scales, forging states: Comparison of the upper Tigris/Euphrates and Jordan River basins
In this comparative study of two water basins in the Middle East, we examine the hydro-political construction of scale as central to state and nation building, and their territorial consolidation. We argue that scalar negotiations and constructions of freshwater became central to the very consolidation of both Turkey and Israel. The examples we offer also illustrate the usefulness of a performa...
متن کاملModeling Water Management Options for the Tigris–Euphrates Rivershed
Political instability of several countries in the Middle East is overshadowing one of the biggest challenges of the upcoming century: Water a natural resource that is easily taken for granted, but whose scarcity might lead to serious conflicts. This paper investigates an optimal Water Allocation of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivershed by introducing the WATER-Model. A series of scenarios are anal...
متن کاملSecurity to All: Allocating the Waters of Euphrates and Tigris
The highly contested and complex issue of transboundary water governance calls for rethinking fairness and equity in the allocation of water between sovereign nation-states. This paper provokes ideas about the problem of allocation and access as it is stated in the Earth System Governance Project. It starts out arguing that the problem of allocation in the Middle East is framed by both upstream...
متن کاملInternational water resources allocation and conflicts: the case of the Euphrates and Tigris
This paper presents a linear programming model that allocates the waters of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers to irrigation, urban consumption, and on-stream hydroelectricity production in the three riparian countries (Turkey, Syria, and Iraq), by maximizing the aggregate net benefits from water uses while accounting for water-conveyance costs. The model represents, in network form, the system ma...
متن کاملTransboundary Water Resources Allocation under Various Parametric Conditions: the Case of the Euphrates & Tigris River Basin
The literature on transboundary water resources allocation modeling is still short on encompassing and analyzing complex geographic multiparty nature of basins. This study elaborates the Inter Temporal Euphrates and Tigris River Basin Model (ITETRBM), which is a linear programming based transboundary water resources allocation model maximizing net economic benefit from allocation of scarce wate...
