If I had the opportunity to travel back in time to consult with the middle eastern leaders of Turkey, Iraq and Syria. I would take back proof that what they are doing (or not doing) with their water supplies will lead to a pending global catastrophe.  If I could, I would also take back the current technological plans for desalination and solar power. If the countries involved could further that current technology, then it would beneficial to the whole world. While it is expensive, if you could mediate a joint deal between multiple countries that would be beneficial to all parties involved.  I would inform on the pending drought to the region, and if they don’t start a water management program then it would lead to wars and thousands dead. I also believe that they should start metering the populace, meaning everybody gets charged for their usage. This act would lower consumption greatly because there would not be excessive use. It would allow for possible economic growth, with jobs being generated for installs and maintenance of the whole system overall. I believe that the leaders i spoke with would listen to me. If i had good proof that was irrefutable and that if they did not listen then they would be signing the death warrants of thousands.

Info needed:

I would need as much information about the leaders of Iraq, Syria and Turkey.

I would also need as much information as possible about the conflicts currently happening during the time traveling back to.

I would also want more information about the state of their infrastructure, and what techniques they have tried and failed at.

Im sure i could find this information available from the Albertson’s library and also internet research. I would make sure that I get as much primary information as possible. Secondary information would be easier to find but also helpful. As with all research if I were to use the Internet for research purposes I would have to verify and substantiate that the information is accurate.
