Water in the Middle East: A Geography of Peace

By Aaron Wolf

Addressing water needs from a geographical perspective, the contributors to this book analyze and assess the impact of scarce water resources in the Jordan River basin countries as these long-time antagonists work toward peace. After geographical and historical overviews, the authors envision the future - what the water issues may be between Israel and Syria, and the difficulties of planning for uncertainty. Without proposing any one ideal scheme, they discuss the possibilities for cooperative sharing of water resources, while acknowledging the political constraints that may limit such projects.
