“…Gradual policy measures that are targeted tend to garner greater public support and acceptance than policies that include price increase or merely limit water supply (Millock and Nauges 70 WATER SECURITY IN THE MIDDLE EAST 70 2010 ; Randolph and Troy 2008 ;Aljamal, Bagnied, and Speece 2015 ).

However, it is worth noting that economic considerations are not always the primary reason for avoiding water imports (Amery 2013 ;Amery 2015 ). For example, Qatar and Kuwait had formally considered importing water from Iran.…”
