Download or read book Water Resources in Jordan written by Munther J. Professor Haddadin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive, multi-disciplinary book to address water policy in Jordan. Edited by the former Minister of Water and Irrigation of Jordan, with contributions by other prominent Jordanian and international water professionals, this volume covers such areas as the population-water resources equation in Jordan; institutional and legal frameworks; the data systems used for the assessment and formulation of water policy; water allocations and uses in municipal, industrial, and agricultural sectors; social and environmental issues; and water conflict with Jordan's neighbors. The book is a must for readers interested in Middle East politics and the critical nature of water issues in the region. The book notes the importance of interaction with the outside world to augment water resources through trade, making the experience of Jordan relevant to other developing regions where water is scarce. It introduces the term 'shadow water' to mean the scarce indigenous water resources that the import of agricultural and industrial commodities saves or replaces. The book shows how financially profitable it can be to treat water as a tradable commodity, to be exchanged peaceably across international borders. Haddadin and his distinguished contributors bring the water conflicts between Jordan and its neighbors, Israel and Syria, into sharp focus. The book includes a historical perspective on the development of water policies in Jordan and explores the significance of water in the religious, social, and political life of the country.

Book excerpt: This book gives a detailed account of the scarce water resources of Jordan, with a focus on their quantities, quality, and use for different sectors. It details the political, social, and economic dimensions of the scarce water resources along with their implications on Jordan's cooperation with its neighbors. The book includes implemented projects of dams, canals, water supply networks, waste water treatment, and more. It gives an overview of which projects have been successful and which have failed to achieve their purposes and why. Shared water with other countries and their developmental implications to the water sector are discussed and future water supply projects, such as the Red Sea-Dead Sea conduit project, are elaborated on. The book also touches upon the waves of refugees and their impact on the water sector and water strategies in Jordan.
Download or read book The Water of the Jordan Valley written by Heinz Hötzl and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-09-27 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 and its underground flow is understood and water extraction is regionally controlled. Rare earth element and spider patterns are presented as new tools for studying the hydrology. Progress in 3-D modelling of groundwater flow proved successfully the impact of pumping on the surroundings of wells and overexploitation of aquifers.

Download or read book The Right to Water written by Farhana Sultana and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The right to clean water has been adopted by the United Nations as a basic human right. Yet how such universal calls for a right to water are understood, negotiated, experienced and struggled over remain key challenges. The Right to Water elucidates how universal calls for rights articulate with local historical geographical contexts, governance, politics and social struggles, thereby highlighting the challenges and the possibilities that exist. Bringing together a unique range of academics, policy-makers and activists, the book analyzes how struggles for the right to water have attempted to translate moral arguments over access to safe water into workable claims. This book is an intervention at a crucial moment into the shape and future direction of struggles for the right to water in a range of political, geographic and socio-economics contexts, seeking to be pro-active in defining what this struggle could mean and how it might be taken forward in a far broader transformative politics. The Right to Water engages with a range of approaches that focus on philosophical, legal and governance perspectives before seeking to apply these more abstract arguments to an array of concrete struggles and case studies. In so doing, the book builds on empirical examples from Africa, Asia, Oceania, Latin America, the Middle East, North America and the European Union.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Physical Geography, Geomorphology, Environmental Studies, grade: 1,0, University of Passau, language: English, abstract: Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der nachhaltigen Wasserversorgung des Trockenraums des Unteren Jordantals und ist in drei Hauptkapitel untergliedert. Im ersten Teil wird das Untere Jordantal im physischen sowie sozio-ökonomischen Kontext behandelt. Das zweite Kapitel konzentriert sich auf die Aspekte, die zur aktuelle Situation geführt haben. Dabei wird zunächst ein historischer Abriss über ide Entwicklung der heutigen Landnutzung, insbesondere der Bewässerungswirtschaft, gegeben. Das Lower Jordan River Basin beheimatet ca. 80 % der jordanischen Bevölkerung und verbraucht entsprechend auch etwa 80 % der nationalen Wasserressourcen. Während die Bewässerungslandwirtschaft weniger als 5 % des BIP ausmacht, verbraucht sie doch nahezu 70 % des nationalen Wasserbedarfs. Einem sich erneuernden natürlichen Wasserdargebot von 780 MMC steht ein Vebrauch von 1,35 MMC entgegen. Dieses Ungleichgewicht wird sich aufgrund des Bevölkerungswachstums und des steigenden Wasserbedarfs in den kommenden Jahren weiterhin dramatisch verschlechtern. Im dritten Kapitel werden verschiedene Optionen für eine künftige Sicherstellung des Wasserbedarfs erörtert. Neben möglichen technischen Einsparungen im Agrarbereich werden auch die Möglichkeiten von Mehrfachwasserverwendung diskutiert, ohne die Jordanien in der Zukunft nicht auskommen wird. Allerdings wird auch kritisch hinterfragt, inwieweit die Einsicht für ein integriertes Wassermanagement mit der Realität korreliert. Erste Schritte hin zu einer nachhaltigen Wasserversorgung wurden bereits vollzogen, doch das angestrebte Ziel ist noch weit entfernt. Notwendige Schritte sind nicht nur im Bereich des Wassermanagements erforderlich, auch die Bewertung des Gutes Wasser und den damit verbundenen Kosten sowie eine langfristige Umorientierung der jordanischen Wirtschaft und eine stärkere Bewusstseinsbildung in der Bevölkerung sind nötig. Ohne die Umsetzung dieser Maßnahmen ist gegenwärtig nicht absehbar, ob das Land langfristig bei seinen Bemühungen erfolgreich sein wird.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the NGO Master Plan that provides a comprehensive program to rehabilitate the Lower Jordan River and its tributaries in Jordan, Israel and Palestine. It is a regional and civil society effort designed to promote the restoration of the valley’s environmental and ecological values within a realistic financial and economic framework. The plan identifies 127 specific regional and national "interventions"(projects) until the year 2050, based on seven strategic planning objectives: pollution control, sustainable water management and river rehabilitation, sustainable agriculture, Jordan River basin governance, ecological rehabilitation, sustainable tourism and cultural heritage development, and urban and infrastructure development. The total investment value is 4.58 billion USD, the plan ranks the interventions and identifies their feasibility in a short, medium and long term investment cycles considering the political environment.
Download or read book The Jordan River and Dead Sea Basin written by Clive Lipchin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 21st century will present unprecedented challenges. Already in its first decade we have seen the dramatic impact of two systemic risks, that of climate change and that of the financial crisis. The cause but also the solution to these crises lies in a deeper understanding of the underlying factors and int- dependencies. New ways must be found to overcome deep obstacles and find common solutions to seemingly intractable problems. The water crisis in the Middle East is a central challenge of the 21st century. The future of the people of the region depends on finding lasting solutions. Due to the exhaustion and pollution of available sources, compounded by climate change, demographic change and economic development, the pressures of water resource management will grow. New solutions must urgently be found as business as usual is not sustainable. This book provides vital new insights into possible elements of a sustainable future in one key area, that of the Jordan River and Dead Sea Basin. The future development of the Jordanian, Palestinian and Israeli people depends on finding a just and sustainable system of water resource management in this Basin. Given the potential for regional and other conflicts arising out of tensions over water, the ramifications are wider and even global in significance. This volume provides fresh regional and international perspectives which greatly assist in our understanding of the issues and their possible resolution.
