Middle East Resources
The two most important resources in the Middle East are WATER and OIL.
![Page 40: Different Names for the Same Thing What do the names mean? Why are there so many names for the same place?](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061305/5514489f5503466d1a8b5bbc/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Resources: Water
Water: There is little of this resource in this arid climate and it is vital to one’s survival. (drink, grow food)
Irrigation: to supply an area of land with water by means of ditches, canals, pipes or some man made method.

Resources: OilOil: There is a lot of this resource
throughout the region making many Middle Eastern countries very wealthy.
However, there are some countries that do not have a lot of oil reserves and they are either– Poor OR– Successful because they have developed
another part of their economy.(I.E.) Israel: leader in the diamond cutting industry and other technology businesses.

KEY CONCEPT STATEMENT:–More Oil –More $ –More Buildings (i.e. schools,
hospitals, police, fire, roads) – Better education, health,
trade/economy – Better standard of living (life)
