Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between water stress and total natural resources in the MENA
region using panel OLS methodology. The results show a significant positive relationship between water
stress and total natural resources in the region. The study highlights the importance of sustainable
management and effective utilization of natural resources in addressing water stress challenges. It
emphasizes the need for appropriate policies that integrate water resource management and the
sustainable exploitation of natural resources. The findings provide empirical evidence supporting the
positive relationship between these variables and underscore the significance of sustainable resource
management in addressing water stress challenges. The results can inform policymakers, stakeholders,
and researchers in formulating strategies and interventions that promote sustainable
development, economic resilience, and enhanced human development outcomes in water-stressed
regions
