Below is the original answer from some "smart-@$$" The most important resource is Water, mainly for survival. (obviously, the original answer is from some kid who doesn't know what he is talking about.) me i don't think that YOU are an important resource!! Water is an important resource in southwest Asia because without it everyone there would die. the second most important would be oil, but that is less necessary than water, because you can live without it. without oil, southwest Asia would struggle, but they would be alive. without water, well...you can say goodbye to southwest asians completely.
