(2) since the 1970s, the Egyptian economy has gained faster growth. Agriculture is concentrated in the Nile Valley and the delta, which is the highest level of modernization of agriculture in Africa, known for the abundance of high-quality long-staple cotton, long-staple cotton production and exports ranked first in the world． The oil resources of West Asia are mainly located in the Persian Gulf and its coastal areas. Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait and Iraq are the world's major oil-producing countries;
(3) Israel's climate is arid and rainy, and freshwater resources are in serious shortage, but due to the development of water-saving agriculture, made the world's attention of agricultural achievements. First, vigorously promote water-saving irrigation technology to improve the utilization rate of agricultural irrigation water. Sprinkler and drip irrigation technology than the traditional furrow irrigation technology to save more than half of the water. Second, the full development of water sources, the use of brackish water and wastewater irrigation. Israel has a relatively rich underground salty water, but not suitable for irrigation. Israel's 80% of municipal wastewater after treatment, widely used in cotton and other non-food crops irrigation. At present, Israel's irrigation technology and equipment has been exported to many countries;
(4) north-south Nile River, 1530 kilometers long in Egypt. This majestic river provides the Egyptian people with almost the only source of surface water. On both sides of the river valley plains about 20 kilometers wide, forming a green corridor in the vast desert. From Cairo to the north is an area of 24,000 square kilometers of the Nile Delta. The water of the Nile River nourishes the land along its banks and in the delta, supporting 96% of Egypt's population. The river valley and delta region is Egypt's most important agricultural areas, mainly producing long-staple cotton, corn, wheat, rice, and onions, beans and fruits. These crops are mainly dependent on the Nile River for irrigation. The Egyptian people praise the Nile River is to nurture their "mother river".
The answers are: (1) Nile; Iran; Hormuz; (2) long-staple cotton; the Persian Gulf and its coastal areas; (3) sprinkler and drip irrigation technology; desalination; (4) Nile water nourishes the land on both sides of the banks and the delta, which feeds 96% of Egypt's population. The Egyptian people praise the Nile is to nurture their "mother river".
