People in the region address this complex of problems by encouraging urban agriculture and by using recycled water to feed it.

This innovative response, supported by IDRC, has had a wide-ranging influence on public policy.Text1 digital file (4 p. : ill.)enURBAN AGRICULTUREURBANIZATIONFOOD SECURITYWATER REUSEGOVERNMENT POLICYWATER SHORTAGEWATER MANAGEMENTMIDDLE EASTCase Study
