This book presents the results of the Interdisciplinary Research Group Society - Water - Technology of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. It describes interdisciplinary evaluation criteria for major water engineering projects (MWEPs) and portrays an application to the Lower Jordan Valley (Middle East) and the Fergana Valley (Central Asia). Both areas are characterised by transboundary conflicts by challenges due to demographic and climate change and by political and societal pressures. Based on the findings the book provides recommendations for science and political decisions makers as well as for international financing institutions. In addition it outlines research gaps from an interdisciplinary perspective.In the past MWEPs have been used as an instrument to cope with the demands of growing populations and to enhance development progress. Experiences with MWEPs have shown that a purely technical approach has not always brought about the desired results. In many cases MWEPs have even resulted in negative implications for society and environment. Therefore improved management strategies and enhanced technologies for a sustainable water resource management system are a prerequisite to meet present and future challenges. And moreover the continuous evaluation and optimisation of these measures is likewise a must.
