Water Conflict: Economics, Politics, Law and Palestinian-Israeli Water ResourcesInstitute for Palestine Studies, 1997 - 408 pages A study of the conflict over the natural water resources of geographic Palestine. The author focuses on both the scarcity and commonality of the water resources in order to demonstrate why water has become one of the most contentious issues between Israel and the Palestinians. He discusses how the principles of equitable utilization and joint management of common water resources can be achieved and can enhance the prospects for reducing conflict over water, and may ultimately contribute to overall Israeli-Palestinian cooperation. Includes several maps and charts which detail the area's water resources. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR. |
