It has been reported that the Middle East, and the Gulf States in particular, will face serious water shortages during the next 25 years, and Turkey is likely to be one of the main sources for the transfer of fresh water.
Prema izvješćima, Bliski istok, a posebice zaljevske države, sučelit će se s ozbiljnom nestašicom vode u narednih 25 godina, a Turska će vjerojatno biti jedan od glavnih izvora za prijenos svježe vode.
