We live in a high desert area here in Steamboat Springs that is much cooler than most areas in in the middle east but have the same questions on what will happen going forward. We also have similar water issues given the system in the American west where you use all of your water rights or lose them no matter how in-efficiently you use them. This past year we had a very cold winter with record snows which may represent a the shift in precipitation you refer to or just be a random event.
