Abstract

Several Arab countries face numerous environmental problems in addition to climate change, desertification, and water crisis. Multiple issues related to water and energy need to be resolved. In this paper, we examine the most important topics to be studied, and the research conducted to elucidate the importance of the water problem in the Arab region, including the gap between increased demand and a lack of resources. Water problems include leakage, pollution, and depletion of water resources. We also focus on climate change and the role of young people, software, educational institutions, and training centers in achieving water security and sustainable development objectives. The paper also investigates the idea of water harvesting, the relationship between water, food security, and energy, the role of stakeholders, and good governance in solving the water crisis by understanding the problems and framing research within a multi-year work program with financial, legislative, and scientific support. Providing incentives and the necessary research structure to coordinate all sectors and organizations concerned with water is also essential.

解决未来阿拉伯国家缺水问题的水-能源-粮食纽带

除了气候变化、荒漠化和水危机之外，一些阿拉伯国家还面临着许多环境问题。与水和能源有关的多个问题需要解决。在本文中，我们考察了需要研究的最重要的主题，以及为阐明阿拉伯地区水问题的重要性而进行的研究，包括需求增加与资源缺乏之间的差距。水问题包括渗漏、污染和水资源枯竭。我们还关注气候变化以及年轻人、软件、教育机构和培训中心在实现水安全和可持续发展目标方面的作用。本文还探讨了水收集的概念，水、粮食安全和能源之间的关系，利益相关者的作用，以及解决水危机的良好治理，通过理解问题，并在财政、立法和科学支持的多年工作计划中制定研究框架。提供奖励和必要的研究结构以协调与水有关的所有部门和组织也是必不可少的。

期刊介绍： Air, Soil & Water Research is an open access, peer reviewed international journal covering all areas of research into soil, air and water. The journal looks at each aspect individually, as well as how they interact, with each other and different components of the environment. This includes properties (including physical, chemical, biochemical and biological), analysis, microbiology, chemicals and pollution, consequences for plants and crops, soil hydrology, changes and consequences of change, social issues, and more. The journal welcomes readerships from all fields, but hopes to be particularly profitable to analytical and water chemists and geologists as well as chemical, environmental, petrochemical, water treatment, geophysics and geological engineers. The journal has a multi-disciplinary approach and includes research, results, theory, models, analysis, applications and reviews. Work in lab or field is applicable. Of particular interest are manuscripts relating to environmental concerns. Other possible topics include, but are not limited to: Properties and analysis covering all areas of research into soil, air and water individually as well as how they interact with each other and different components of the environment Soil hydrology and microbiology Changes and consequences of environmental change, chemicals and pollution.
