Many have stated that the next Middle East war will be over water. As the dry months of summer sweep through the Middle East, Israel is faced with its worst water crisis ever. The water levels in Israel's three main water sources - the Sea of Galilee, the Coastal Aquifer and the Mountain Aquifer - have now receded to the lowest levels in recorded history. All three have already dropped below the red line - the line at which it is recommended to stop pumping from the water source. Faced with increased consumption due to population growth, land development and water commitments to Jordan and Gaza, Israel has no choice but to continue pumping from its water sources. Yet if Israel continues, water levels will soon drop under the black line - the point of no return, where continued pumping will cause severe, irreversible damage to the Israel's water sources. With many more rainless months to go, Israel is already dangerously close. (source: infolive.tv)
