39. Elmusa, S. S. The Israeli-Palestinian Water Dispute Can Be Solved. Palestine-Israel Journal of Politics, Economics and Culture 1994; 1: 18 - 26.

This article describes general characteristics of the water conflict between the two sides. The author gives several examples of international water laws that can serve the joint management of water resources in the Jordan Basin. It is argued that Palestinians should be entitled to a much larger share of the common water sources than Israel because Israel has access to greater quantities from sources not shared with the West Bank. This would give Palestinians an incentive to properly manage headwaters of the mountain aquifer. In order for the struggle for water to recede, the author argues that Israel needs to change its attitude about water; as an emotional issue it is losing importance since irrigated agriculture, an integral part of Israel's founding ethos, only constitutes 3% of Israel's economy.
