Camden Conference Community Event:
Rivers of the Middle East
January 17, at Noon

Presented by Mark Van Baalen. The Middle East is a generally arid region with few rivers. But as a result, the rivers that do flow there have an outsized importance, both physically and historically. In fact, some of these resources are listed among the great rivers of the world. This talk will focus on a few of these rivers and emphasize their geographical, historical, and current importance, including the struggle for water rights today.
