[Projections of rainfall and stream flow in the MediterraneanMediterranean and the Fertile CrescentFertile Crescent of the Middle East are presented here for the end of the twenty-first century. Up until recently, this has not been possible due to the lack of observed data and atmospheric models with sufficient resolution. An innovative super-high-resolution (20-km) global climate model is employed, which properly reproduces the moisture fields of the present-day climate over the study area. The model projected that the Fertile Crescent will lose its current shape and may disappear altogether by the end of this century. The annual discharge of the Euphrates RiverEuphrates River will decrease by 29–73 %, as will the stream flow in the Jordan RiverJordan River. Thus countermeasures for water shortages will become much more difficult.]
