Abstract:
Water, a necessary piece of life, has become a scarcity in many regions, specifically within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Numerous national pursuits to quell depletion have formed and worked to acquire aid from the international community and aid agencies. Only recently have these efforts been maintained and formed to encapsulate aspects of a neoliberal development. These projects, designed to address water access and ecological concerns, are pushed toward commodification and control through international interests. One such project moving forward today is the Red Sea-Dead Sea Water Conveyance (RSDSWC) system.
