As the  population grows and demand for water rises, reliance on groundwater  increases. In many cases the groundwater underlies boundaries, or is  part of a hydraulic system that crosses boundaries. In such cases  there is always the danger that the 'prisoner's dilemma' will run its  course and all parties will compete over who will pump the most water,  ultimately destroying the storage potential to the detriment of future  generations of all parties reliant on the groundwater. This book  explores the options and means for averting this all too realistic  scenario by managing these shared groundwater resources. \u003cbr\u003e  Nowhere is the likelihood of excessive use of groundwater greater than  in the water-scarce Middle East, and especially in the  Israeli-Palestinian case. Here both sides are heavily reliant  on a shared aquifer, the Mountain aquifer. This book is the outcome of  a seven-year effort to find ways to manage the Mountain aquifer,  perhaps the most important resource shared by Israelis and  Palestinians. As part of this cooperative study, four workshops were  held in which a selected number of Palestinian, Israeli, and foreign  experts were invited. The chapters in this book were originally  presented in one of these workshops. To these papers introductory and  concluding chapters were added.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-01-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792372547\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-010-0680-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 496\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265546244236,"sku":"9780792372547","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792372547.jpg?v=1770782977","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792372547","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
