The volume serves as an important mile-stone in the process called "second track" dialogue and co-operation between Israeli and Palestinian academics on crucial shared problems, the resolution of which is vital to the peace process. The book contains 41 original papers dealing with almost all aspects of the Middle-Eastern water problems, and should serve as a useful reference to students, scholars and policy makers all over the world interested in understanding the complexities of the Middle-Eastern water conflicts.
