Israel, Jordan Find Accord in Finding New Water Supplies
[Washington Post] Howard Schneider - An acute water shortage has prompted Jordan and Israel to embark on audacious water-supply projects. The efforts include a pipeline to Amman from the Dissi Reservoir in Jordan's southern desert and an extensive network of desalination plants Israel is building along the Mediterranean coast. The two countries are also pushing for action on the long-standing idea of cutting a 110-mile path north from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea to reverse decades of decline in the Dead Sea's water level.
