Descripción de War and Water

Sectarian conflicts in the Middle East have been ongoing for what seems like forever. The latest violence in Syria and Turkey brought Peter Neill to take a closer look at a map of the region. What he found is startling yet simple: each city that is gained or lost by a rival faction sits on a major river—the Euphrates, the Tigris, or their tributaries. The wars waged are being fought along a watershed. In this episode of World Ocean Radio, host Peter Neill will suggest that despite air strikes, conflicting systems of law, and pursuits for oil, what really matters most is water. That it, among all other things, is what enables the true security of the region.
