Abstract
Most discussions of water rights and allocations allude primarily to the withdrawal and use of fresh water. The main sources from which water is withdrawn, and thus rights determined, are rivers, lakes or aquifers. In riverine systems the importance of return flows, allowing the same water to be used several times, has now been recognized (Kolars, 1997). Yet, in most cases in the Middle East this recognition has not yet been institutionalized.
