This book argues that the Jordan River watershed - a region where some of the worst Arab-Israeli conflicts have occurred - might be the very place to bury ancient hatreds & work to give birth to new & more enlightened environmental collaboration. The river runs through the peace talks - or it certainly should. The premise is that the inextricable link between water & politics could be harnessed to make partners of old enemies, allied against a common ecological reality. The book examines the impact water has had on settlements in the West Bank & other regions of the Jordan River watershed: lands now mainly in a state of uneasy political truce.
