Abstract

The EcoPeace Proposal is considered to be the most attractive way to move Israel, Palestine, and Jordan toward a final status agreement for their shared water resources. However, they are not the only way, and this chapter focuses on four supplemental or alternative ways for dealing with regional water issues: the Mountain Aquifer study shows how the EcoPeace Proposal could be tried first at smaller scale; the Lower Jordan Basin project is an actual example of what can be achieved in a transboundary region that is highly sensitive ecologically but with a large economic potential; the Red Sea-Dead Sea Water Conveyance (RSDSWC) project is a proposed way of meeting both water and electricity shortages, mainly in Jordan, by conventional means but at massive cost; finally the Water-Energy Nexus is both a modern response to water insecurity and an opportunity for regional integration. The Chapter concludes with a note on the experience of EcoPeace in its presentations before the United Nations Security Council.

Note by DBB: As someone who attended the 1st conference and presented one of two keynote talks, I can indicate how sensitive it was by recalling that approval for the Conference required intense negotiations and was only received from the Israeli government and the Palestinian Liberation Organization on the day before the Conference was supposed to begin. It was a dozen years before the 2nd Israeli-Palestinian Conference was held in Antalya, Turkey, from 10–14 October 2004, which I also attended. It is significant that the word “academic” had been dropped—it was no longer needed to assure approval—and that, despite the title, its scope was enlarged from Israel and Palestine to the whole Middle East. Results of the 1st Conference were reported in Issac and Shuval (1994), and abstracts from the 2nd Conference by IPCRI (2004).

The Dublin Statement on water and Sustainable Development was agreed at an International Conference on Water and the Environment in January 1992, a preparatory meeting of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development that was held later that year. The Dublin Statement included the following four principles:
1.
Fresh water is a finite and vulnerable resource, essential to sustain life, development and the environment.
 
2.
Water development and management should be based on a participatory approach, involving users, planners and policy-makers at all levels.
 
3.
Women play a central part in the provision, management and safeguarding of water.
 
4.
Water has an economic value in all its competing uses and should be recognized as an economic good.
 
Further information on the Dublin Statement is available at:

Hydrologically, a basin is defined as closed when the inflow has no outlet and the water only escapes the basin by evaporation upward or percolation downward. That is not the meaning used here. In socio-economic terms a basin is closed when there is little or no water that can be withdrawn for any use. That is the case for the Lower Jordan River basin.
