Reviews

'This comprehensive, multidisciplinary book, edited by a former minister of water and irrigation for Jordan...shows how it can be financially profitable to treat water as a tradable commodity, to be exchanged peaceably across borders. It also brings the water conflicts between Jordan and its neighbors, Israel and Syria, into sharp focus.' Journal of American Water Works
