| ABSTRACT: | Israel controls the greater part of the Jordan River and the West Bank’s aquifers. Palestinian consumption is severely restricted by the military authorities, causing serious water deficiencies in most Palestinian homes. This paper outlines a set of much needed measures. Firstly, Israel should instigate a number of confidence building measures, a recognition of Palestinian water rights, and an increase in water supply to Gaza and the West Bank. Secondly, Israelis and Palestinians should adopt a water charter. This could act as a springboard for the agreement of an integrated water programme in which allocation conservation enhancement and quality are considered as a totality. |
