Fanack Water Files

The Middle East faces a crisis of the most fundamental kind. Water is scarce. Resources have been depleted and environmental factors make solutions difficult to come by. The Fanack Water Files, presented by Fanack, provide in-depth, comprehensive, and balanced information on the state of water resources in twenty countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The Fanack Water Files present high-quality facts and figures on a range of topics, including water availability and use, pollution and groundwater overexploitation, and alternative sources of water such as seawater desalination.

Water Challenges and Solutions in Jordan, with a Special Report on the Red Sea-Dead Sea Project is the first publication of the Fanack Water Files. It deals in depth with the water situation in Jordan, a critical country in the region bordering Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Israel.

Fanack is an independent organisation that aims to provide facts about and analysis of the MENA region and its history, society, economy, and culture. Its primary target group is Arab youth, who are exploring their roots and developing their identity in relation to both the Eastern and Western world. Fanack also wants to inform general audience readers that seek a better understanding of the region, including policy-makers, business people, academics, students, and tourists.
