however, the opportunity costs of supplying the necessary amount of water are also quite high The advent of desalination has allowed for serious consideration of additional flows for stream flow restoration purposes and is also facilitating increased regional cooperation over water resources The cost of desalination, which serves as a proxy for the marginal cost of water in the region, has declined dramatically over the past decade As it continues to so, the opportunity cost of restored river flows should drop proportionately, making river rehabilitation an ever more attractive option While fully restoring page 330 March 1, 2017 9:9 Management of Transboundary Water - 9in x 6in b2737-ch10 Regional Cooperation in River Basin Rehabilitation page 331 331 historical flows to the Jordan is unlikely, even partial rehabilitation can bring about substantial environmental, social, and economic benefits to the region and reverse the trajectory of the river from a polluted drainage canal back to a thriving ecosystem worthy of its great legacy Acknowledgments This chapter presents work conducted by the authors together with Saeb Bamya, of CORE Associates, Palestine, and Ele Jan Saaf, of SaafConsult BV, Jordan, and with the assistance of Jennifer Helgeson of the London School of Economics The study was done with the financial support of EcoPeace/Friends of the Earth–Middle East (FoEME) within the framework of the organization’s development of a regional master plan for rehabilitation of the Jordan Valley basin References Abramson, A., A Tal, N Becker, N El-Khateeb, L Asaf, A Assi, E Adar (2010) Stream restoration as a basis for Israeli–Palestinian cooperation: a comparative analysis of two transboundary streams.” International Journal of River Basin Management, 8(1), 39–53 Adamowicz, WL, JJ Fletcher, and T Graham-Tomasi (1994) Functional form and the statistical properties of welfare measures — Reply American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 76(4), 958–959 Anisfeld, S, and J Shub 2009 Historical flows in the Lower Jordan River New Haven, CT: Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies Arrow, K, R Solow, PR Portney, EE Leamer, R Radner, and H Schuman (1993) Report of the NOAA panel on contingent valuation Federal Register 58 (10), 4601–4614, Aviram, R, D Katz, and D Shmueli (2014) Desalination as a game-changer in transboundary hydro-politics Water Policy, 16(4), 609–624 Barak, B (March 2010) How much are we willing to pay for a clean stream?
