Water Conflict: Economics, Politics, Law and Palestinian-Israeli Water Resources

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book if you want in depth detail
Review: I ordered and read this book during me research on the feasibility of building a desalination plant in Gaza. It provided all of the details on water quality in the Palestinian territories that I could have asked for.

Be advised that this is the product of research oriented writing, and not bed time reading material. It includes enough commentary on the Israeli practice of piping quality water out of the Gaza Strip into Israel proper and other Israeli water practices that are malicious.

Equally upsetting is the spoiling of water aquifers in Gaza by overpumping. As salt water creeps in, these aquifers are lost forever. The book provides credible and supporting evidence that the water in the Gaza Strip will get progressively worse, and will leave the area waterless in the foreseable future.
