Roadmap for the Rehabilitation of the Lower Jordan River

"Roadmap for the Rehabilitation of the Lower Jordan River"; another important publication of Friends of the Earth Middle East (FoEME).

This report, prepared by DHV Consultancy and Engineers on behalf of FoEME Tel Aviv using the innovative WEAP program, integrates the most up-to-date data regarding water sources, land and water use in the basin, climate change impacts, national plans that relate to the Lower Jordan and more, to give a clear projection for the future of the Lower Jordan and offer solutions for how Israeli decision makers can directly contribute to the river's rehabilitation. The model demonstrates that a combination of implementing the mid-term plans already being advanced by the Israeli government, and cost effective water demand management strategies advocated by FoEME, can return fresh water back into the Lower Jordan River to meet environmental flow recommendations.
