描述 | Most of the world‘s freshwater resources in the liquid state(i.e. not in glaciers and polar caps) are underground. As thepopulation grows and demand for water rises, reliance on groundwaterincreases. In many cases the groundwater underlies boundaries, or ispart of a hydraulic system that crosses boundaries. In such casesthere is always the danger that the ‘prisoner‘s dilemma‘ will run itscourse and all parties will compete over who will pump the most water,ultimately destroying the storage potential to the detriment of futuregenerations of all parties reliant on the groundwater. This bookexplores the options and means for averting this all too realisticscenario by managing these shared groundwater resources. .Nowhere is the likelihood of excessive use of groundwater greater thanin the water-scarce Middle East, and especially in theIsraeli-Palestinian case. Here both sides are heavily relianton a shared aquifer, the Mountain aquifer. This book is the outcome ofa seven-year effort to find ways to manage the Mountain aquifer,perhaps the most important resource shared by Israelis andPalestinians.
