“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Protecting Groundwater: To address the lack of awareness and the capacity to deal with sources of pollution to groundwater by setting up collaborative training programs for municipal staff from selected Mediterranean Basin municipalities. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Water Accord: The 1993 Oslo process between Israel and the Palestinian Authority created a temporary arrangement for water distribution between the two bodies, but a final agreement on water and other issues has yet to be reached. Given the dire Palestinian need for more water availability, Israel's new water supply due to large scale desalination and a joint need to deal with untreated sewage, restarting negotiations with water as a first priority makes eoonomic, ecological and most importantly, politacal sense. An agreement on water would greatly improve the current living conditions of both peoples. For Palestinians, it would increase fresh water availability and for Israelis it would remove pollutants from the rivers and streams that flow through its main cities. The agreement struck would be a Final Accord on Water and not another interim process. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Water-Energy Nexus: aims at researching and advocating for a water and sustainable energy nexus approach to counter the effects of climate change and its potential negative security implications, while providing solutions to water scarcity in the region. The project includes researching the technical, economic, and geo-political pre-feasibility of Jordan as a provider of large-scale renewable energy for the Levant with the coastal region of Israel and Gaza producing the desalinated water. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: The program on Water Security engages in conflict resolution, sharing Ecopeace's experience and proven methodology in environmental peacebuilding in the Middle East by training, educating,and consulting leading international and grassroots organizations in different regions golbally. The objective is to address existing conflict issues over shared water resources and threats to local health, peace and stability”
