As the peace process continues amidst ongoing violence, water remains a political and environmental issue. Thirty leading Palestinian and Israeli activists, water scientists, politicians, and others met and worked together to develop a future vision for the sustainable shared management of water resources that is presented in Water Wisdom. Their essays explore the full range of scientific, political, social, and economic issues related to water use in the region; acknowledge areas of continuing controversy, from access rights to the Mountain Aquifer to utilization of waters from the Jordan River; and identify areas of agreement, disagreement, and options for resolution. Water Wisdom is model for those who believe that water conflict can be an opportunity for cooperation rather than violence. 606 $aWater resources development$zMiddle East$xPlanning 606 $aWater resources development$xGovernment policy$zMiddle East 606 $aWater resources development$xEnvironmental aspects$zMiddle East 606 $aWater-supply$zMiddle East$xInternational cooperation 615 0$aWater resources development$xPlanning. 615 0$aWater resources development$xGovernment policy 615 0$aWater resources development$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aWater-supply$xInternational cooperation. 676 $a333.9100956 701 $aTal$b Alon$f1960-$01034827 701 $aAbed Rabbo$b Alfred$01049763 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910137467103321 996 $aWater wisdom$92479061 997 $aUNINA
