Abstract:
Increasing population levels and demand for water have led to a global water shortage, with more than one billion people unable to access safe drinking water. The Middle East is particularly vulnerable to water stress because of its dense population, variable climate and vulnerable groundwater resources. In Jordan, for example, if current trends in population continue, the water per capita will halve-putting the country in the category of having an absolute water shortage. This opening paper summarizes the climate and hydrology of Jordan and Israel, describes how water is managed at a national level in Jordan and reflects briefly on the broader international context.

States of Water
Water freezes when the intermolecular forces are greater than the kinetic energy. Unlike most other substances, water is less dense in its solid state than in its liquid state. This is because each water molecule can form...
