摘要：The present study has three aims; first, to explore students’ concern about water problems(SCAWP) in Bahrain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait. Second, to examinefactors that influence students’ concern, and third, to test two major arguments in theliterature which claim that people in developing countries have poor environmentalconcern, and universities are increasingly playing important roles in influencing students’environmental concern (Duroy, 2008; Karol, 2006). A random sample of 5000 students issurveyed and t-test and multiple regression are used. Results reveal that college studentsin the five developing countries are concerned about water problems. In addition, tenfactors are statistically significant to predict SCAWP namely, having a major or a minorin public affairs, class discussion, having previous engagements in environmentalactivities, professors, having concern about environmental problems other than water,level at college, completing courses related to environment, gender, having a major or aminor in natural sciences, and knowledge about water problems in general. Thesefindings and their implications for researchers and practitioners are discussed
