2019 Public Seminar “History, Culture, and Society in the Arabian Peninsula” (9th session)
The securing and effective use of water resources is one of the most important domestic policy issues in Middle Eastern countries, and is also sometimes discussed as an international or diplomatic issue. Using Oman as a case, this seminar explains traditional methods of using water, water-related issues facing modern Oman, and the efforts to solve them. The Middle East Desalination Research Center (MEDRC) established in Oman is used as an example to grasp the current status of international collaboration and cooperation in securing and effectively utilizing water resources and achieving peace in the Middle East through water resource issues.
