摘要

The Marine Corps Vision and Strategy 2025 refines this thinking and identifies water scarcity as a threat to the future security environment.6 Moreover, this document notes that by 2025, more than half the global population will live under water stressed or water scarce conditions. A recent article in the Economist illustrates this by pointing out that the 2000 world population of six billion has increased by almost a billion today and is predicted to peak around nine billion in 2050.7 Unfortunately, the overall increase in population belies the real problem that the proportion of people living in countries chronically short of water will rise from 8 percent in 2000 to 45 percent in 2050. It is certain that one region of particular geostrategic interest that will experience increased water scarcity in the future is the Euphrates-Tigris River system, the basin of which overlays an area of preexisting instability and includes the countries of Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. Of particular concern to the United States and the world community is Iraq, which has drawn the attention of the world since the first Gulf War in 1991. Since the 2003 invasion, the international community has devoted a tremendous amount of effort and resources to Iraqs reconstruction. With the primary emphasis on security and rebuilding infrastructure, the challenges have been formidable and well documented. The United States remains committed to the goal of a sovereign, stable, and self-reliant Iraq.8 However, another threat has been often overlooked, one that will become increasingly important in the years ahead. Iraq heavily depends on the waters of the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers, the sources of which come primarily from outside its own borders. More recent American assessments.
