Which statement is NOT true of water supplies in the Middle East? Group of answer choices Water sources are unevenly distributed and are limited. Oil spills from drilling, refineries, and shipping leak into rivers and water supplies causing health hazards and economic problems. Water is an abundant (in great supply) resource with the Red Sea, Persian Gulf, and Mediterranean Sea bordering the Middle East. So drinking water and irrigation are not problems. The building of dams can create an unequal distribution of water and cause conflict between countries who are affected.

Water is an abundant (in great supply) resource with the Red Sea, Persian Gulf, and Mediterranean Sea bordering the Middle East.  So drinking water and irrigation are not problems.  

Explanation:

Although rich in oil, the Middle East is poor in water, which is a very limited resource, both in drinking water and in water for irrigation.

The Middle East has an arid climate, with a low amount of water, even subterrania. This causes many socio-economic problems, in addition to creating conflicts between nations that suffer from the same water scarcity.

The Middle East is a big buyer of mineral water, which is bought to reduce this serious problem.
