adopted to resolve conflicts of interest in the management of water resources in trans-border river basins. Water conflicts often enough results from opposing interests of water users. This is especially true in trans-border river basins where the freshwater river travels across more than one country. Conflicts among water users arise as water quality or water quantity degrades and no longer meets the demands of each country. Today we will be discussing on some examples of trans-border river basins

My hypothesis is that dissolved Phosphate will change for the total phosphorus when left under a light. I believe that suspended phosphorus has the biggest impact on the eutrophication of lakes. When there is an increase of phosphorus in lakes‚ this leads to and increase in phytoplankton. This then leads to a decrease in water clarity. The reason that this is relevant is because

Jordan‚ and Lebanon will be partially contingent on the allocation of freshwater. Israel has shown in the past that it will attempt to control and source water with its interest first rather than on the region as a whole. As such‚ any long-term peace is highly dependent on how Israel and its neighbors handle their limited water resources. Of the vast quantities of water on this planet‚ only about three percent is freshwater and thus suitable for human consumption. The largest portion of that is
