Water and Conflict in the Middle East have made several contributions to the literature on the hydropolitics of the Middle East. Firstly, it discusses concepts and subjects, such as transboundary aquifers, groundwater resources, and the weaponization of water from new perspectives. Secondly, it focuses on the newly emerging non-state actors that have influenced the hydropolitics in the region, such as the ISIS and KRG. Thirdly, it has concentrated largely on the current hydropolitical developments in the Middle East, such as the Yemeni water crisis and GERD.
