The need for water:• Rainfall is sparse over much of the region,
and high temperatures cause surface water to evaporate quickly.
• As a result, the population does not have enough water to meet it’s needs
• Some countries draw water from aquifers when they cannot access clean rivers
![Page 27: You may work on your map packet for 15 minutes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568161bc550346895dd195c0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
