The Water of the Jordan Valley Scarcity and Deterioration of Groundwater and its Impact on the Regional Development /

Natural saline water, waste water, and irrigation return flow endanger the groundwater aquifers in the Rift. In the long run this will ruin the socio-economic backbone of the settlements in the area. Sustainability of the water resources will only be achieved when the process of water replenishment...
