الملخص EN

Natural and human disasters are the main causes of the phenomenon of expensiveness and high prices and the scarcity of foodstuffs.Furthermore these issues contribute to the propagation of diseases and epidemics among people.As a result, the productive labour force may be affected and influenced, which are basically ceased from production in the first place, particularly the field of agriculture which represents the backbone of the economy of nations.

The subject of this research adopts two Arab Muslim counties,namely Egypt and Iraq, since they are totally dependent on their irrigation through rivers of permanent flux and flow.Any increase or decreae in these rivers water from the overall rate leads to disasters.

However, the result would make the expensiveness and high prices phenomenon quite evident, as addressed by al-Nuwyris Nihayat al-arab fi funun al-adab (The Aim of the lntelligent in the Art of letters) .Additionall, in his book ,al- Nuwyri explained positions of the rulers and the governors and set the necessary solution to reduce this phenomenon by fixing prices and controlling markets or in some cases intervening directly in several ways for fear of revolutions or disobedience as a result of any kind of such action.
