New MNA/Arab Water Book: "Water in the Arab World: Management Perspectives and Innovations"

This 500-page 27-chapter book consolidates 6-years long of the WB's experience in MNA, from the projects and studies that we did in the Arab countries.

The book is very multi-thematic, covering all aspects of water management. The World Bank is sharing this pdf version everywhere, free of charge, for the sake of sharing knowledge and for benefiting our Arab countries.

The book will also be one of the text-book materials for the "Arab Water Academy", which has recently been established in Abu Dhabi.

Over the last two weeks, ceremonies for launching and disseminating the book took place in several capitals: Cairo, London, Washington DC, and Montreal.
