Protein calorie malnutrition and nutritional anemia are the two chief nutritional problems affecting large segments of the population in all the countries of the eastern Mediterranean region, with some variations in the degree and intensity of involvement. Vitamin A deficiency, though not so severe or so frequent as in some other parts of the world...
Women provide almost half of the human resources in the villages of the Near East Region for agricultural and non-agricultural production. The percentage of rural women cnnstitutes more than 60 per cent of the total number of women in the region.

... Little work had been done to evaluate the use of lowquality water in salt-affected soil reclamation (Abrol et al. 1988;Mace and Amrhein 2001). The productivity of agricultural soils in Jordan is impaired by many form of soils degradation such as salinity, sodicity, loss of nutrients, and water and wind erosion (Mashali 1989). In the Jordan valley, more than one-third of the agricultural land (*0.5 Mha) is salt-affected soil. ...
... The Mujib dam aiming at exploiting floods flows to provide water to the Arab Potash company, the Dead Sea chemical complex, the tourist's area at the eastern shore of the Dead Sea and drinking water to Amman city (Mahasneh, 2001). Land uses/ land covers of Mujib catchments area are strongly influence the chemistry of lake water and its temporal variations. ...

... sand, wood charcoal, saw dust, rice husk, brick and gravel. The most appropriate wastewater treatment is that which will produce an effluent meeting the recommended microbial guidelines both at a low cost and with minimal operational and maintenance requirements [25]. Over the past 20 years there has been a strong revival of interest in the controlled use of wastewater for crop irrigation to increase local food production [26]. ...
... Treated effluent is supplied via control points to blocks of forestry. Up to 1988, only environmental protection forestry has been developed although there was potential to produce high yields of commercial forestry using treated effluent irrigation (Cobham and Johnson, 1988). In Kuwait, the decision was taken to exclude all amenity uses for the treated effluent and to restrict agricultural use to safe crops. ...
... The total production value was estimated at about USD 100 million in 1994 (Romero, 1997). It is thought that the high content of organic matter in the wastewater has increased soil organic matter and prevented the accumulation of soluble salts (Sanchez Duron, 1988). However, the sewage produced from domestic and industrial sources from the metropolitan area of Mexico City (about 1900 million m3/year for 18 million inhabitants) which is mixed with variable proportions of surface water collected in reservoirs within the basin, has not received conventional treatment. ...
... The predominant soil types are calcareous lithosols and xerosols. Zinc deficiency is the most prevalent micro nutrition disorder, especially in tree crops but iron and manganese deficiencies also appear (Papadopoulos and Stylianou, 1988). ...

... Its water and nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) are needed for crop irrigation and/or fish culture. Crop yields are increased by irrigation with treated wastewater (Table 2), 9 and fish yields from wastewater-fertilised fishponds can reach 8 t/ha/year or more. 10 In order to protect public health, WHO 7 has published guidelines for the microbiological quality of treated wastewaters used for crop irrigation. ...
