Israel's reputation as an international expert in water resource development was built upon the systematic appropriation of regional water resources. Starting in 1948, Arabs and Palestinians have seen their water rights denied within Israel's 1948 borders, in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and in the Golan Heights.
This booklet explains how Palestinian water resources have been appropriated by Israel and how Palestinians have been denied access to their own and regional water resources and the devastating effects this is having on all aspects of Palestinian life.
