About the product

This book argues that the Jordan River watershed - a region where some of the worst Arab-Israeli conflicts have occurred - might be the very place to bury ancient hatreds and work to give birth to new and more enlightened environmental collaborations. The river runs through the peace talks - or it certainly should. The premise is that the inextricable link between water and politics could be harnessed to make partners of old enemies, allied against a common ecological reality. The book examines the impact water has had on settlements in the West Bank and other regions of the Jordan River watershed: lands now mainly in a state of uneasy political truce.
