“Gaza’s only freshwater source, the Coastal Aquifer, cannot meet demand and has been depleted by overextraction and contaminated by sewage. Rising temperatures and sea levels are only making life more difficult, while in Israel, residents do not have to worry about the taps running dry. People and Power examines this growing disparity.”

Book Review: "In Search of the River Jordan"
“He (the author) is forced to admit that ‘in many places, water did indeed appear to have been weaponized’ as critics charge. Yes, Israel’s water technology is ‘genuinely dazzling.’ But ‘Israel’s achievement was founded on many decades of oppression of their neighbors. A people had been cruelly displaced, and their land expropriated, along with their rivers and the groundwater beneath their feet, an accrual of resource that made Israel’s present water surplus possible, and without which the technological water revolution would never have happened.’ ”
