Answer:

Agriculture and businesses use a combined

Step-by-step explanation:

Agriculture uses an estimated 85 percent of water in the Middle East mainly because of desertification problems in Syria, Jordan, Iran, and Iraq.

The region requires large deposits of water resources and available land for agriculture but the problem of lands becoming deserts is a huge issue because of droughts and there are attempts to compensate for these factors which result in overusing of water.
