Abstract: Comparative analytical data sheet examining water-security trajectories in arid and semi-arid systems through the lens of constraint displacement. Drawing on documented cases from Saudi Arabia, Israel, Dubai (UAE), and the Androy region (Madagascar), the document analyzes how different strategies redistribute vulnerability across subsurface resources, energy systems, infrastructure, and governance capacity. The analysis adopts a system-level, non-prescriptive perspective based on published institutional and scientific sources. Numerical values are reported as orders of magnitude and are intended to support comparative reasoning rather than site-specific design or policy recommendations.
