Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to understand the root causes of the political conflict over the upper Jordan River, to establish a ‘hydro-political baseline’ and to evaluate the impact of war and the conflict on water infrastructure and water resources in the region.
0x EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study establishes a baseline upon which future analysis of the Jordan River conflict may build, by investigating the hydro politics of the river’s upper reaches.
