Israel Academy Of Sciences And Humanities

The Israel Academy consists of seventy of Israel's most distinguished scientists and scholars. It is managed by a council consisting of a president, vice president, chairmen for the sciences and the humanities, and an executive director. The president is appointed directly by the president of the state, upon the recommendation of the Academy council. Professor Jacob Ziv is the current president. The governing regulations of the Academy are self-determined, in consultation with the minister of education and culture. The Academy is divided into two major sections: natural sciences and humanities. Both share equal responsibility in conducting the Academy's affairs.

The Israel Academy represents the Israeli scientific community in national and international fora. It also initiates and sponsors selected scholarly projects, conferences and publications, often in conjunction with academic bodies abroad. The Academy also founded and provides administrative support to the Israel Science Foundation (ISF), and administers several other privately sponsored national grants and scholarship programs.

Palestine Academy For Science And Technology

The Palestine Academy for Science and Technology is an autonomous, government-supervised, nonprofit organization that is mandated to represent the Palestinian national instrument for making strategic investment in Palestine's capability and potential in science and technology, in that science and technology should impact the Palestinian national economy and improve the quality of life for all Palestinians. As such, the Academy represents the Palestinian commitment to respond to the science and technology and research and development needs of the Palestinian private and public sectors. In this role, the Academy represents the focal point to a wide scientific and technological Palestinian network that is geared towards capacity building of the Palestinian R&D; promotion and application of science and technology as a tool for socioeconomic development; and advising the government on science and technology issues.

Prince El-Hassan has sponsored its march and was chairman of its Board of Trustees.

In April 1987 the Higher Council for Science and Technology (HCST) was established under the chairmanship of His Royal Highness Crown Prince El-Hassan. HCST replaced the RSS Board of Trustees and RSS became one of its affiliated institutions.

RSS is a nonprofit institution enjoying financial and administrative independence. It aims at conducting scientific and technological research and development work related to the development process in Jordan with special attention to industrial research and services. It also aims at disseminating awareness in the scientific and technological fields and at providing specialized technical consultations and services to the public and private sectors. It seeks to develop scientific and technological cooperation with similar institutions within the Arab world and internationally.

U.S. National Academy Of Sciences

The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts is president of the National Academy of Sciences.

The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. William A. Wulf is president of the National Academy of Engineering.

The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify

Preface

Representatives of the principal science councils of Israel, Jordan, the Palestinian Authority, and the United States first met in Washington, D.C., in 1994, to consider ways in which they might collaborate for the mutual benefit of their communities. After canvassing a range of problems of vital and common interest, they concluded that the most critical of these problems was ensuring sustainable water supplies in the Middle East. They decided to develop a joint study using the approach of the National Research Council (e.g., use of volunteer, multidisciplinary experts to write consensus reports on science and technology issues). They then appointed a committee with members from Israel, Jordan, the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the United States, and Canada. This report is the result.

The Committee on Sustainable Water Supplies for the Middle East was formed by the U.S. National Research Council of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine; the Royal Scientific Society, Jordan; the Palestine Health Council; and the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities and has been supported by funds from the U.S. National Research Council. The plans for this study were developed during a meeting of the scientific Academies and Councils of the Middle East Region in Amman, Jordan in 1995.

There was little precedent for the committee's specific task. Specifying the criteria for sustainable development of an area's water resources, including the maintenance of natural support systems, was relatively new.

Additionally, identifying the scientific and research components of such an appraisal without linking them to specific development plans and allocations was also new. Moreover, this study was one of few occasions on which the U.S. National Research Council had ventured such a cooperative undertaking with scientists in other countries. And for Israel, Jordan, and the Palestinian Authority organizations, the study was unprecedented. While representatives of natural science academies had consulted briefly on such issues as population policy, this was a new undertaking. The standard review process of the U.S. National Research Council was modified to include the presidents of all four scientific organizations and other scientists from all four countries.

Notwithstanding a good deal of discussion in international scientific circles, there have been very few attempts to apply definitions and measurements of indices of sustainable development of water resources in a unified fashion to one area, as is documented in this report. Reports resulting from many of the previous management studies are listed in the bibliography. There has also been a notable lack of integration of social and economic considerations with considerations of ecosystem health and services, especially as they are related to biodiversity.

The committee has sought to integrate these considerations in its approach to this study. The study area is defined as all parts of Israel, Jordan, and the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Although other countries east of the Mediterranean, often encompassed by the term ''Middle East," have somewhat similar landscapes and hydrologic features, it was necessary to confine the study to this area as lying wholly within the committee's concern.

The committee sought to canvass the full range of alternatives—physical, biological, and social that might be considered in sustaining the water supplies of the study area. Each option was then assessed with regard to its likely effects on the sustainability of the systems involved. Options that are currently practicable were distinguished from those that might be achieved through further research. Additionally, the committee has applied the basic principle of seeking fairness to both present and future generations by considering intergenerational equity in all of its appraisal.

While the committee was aware of many specific proposals for managing water supplies in the study area and neighboring areas, it explicitly refrained from making recommendations about specific development programs and political policies. The committee did attempt to appraise the state of scientific and technologic knowledge of water supplies that would be basic for any sound management program.

The conduct of the study included meetings in Israel, Jordan, and the United States, and field inspections of representative areas such as the Yarmuk and Jordan valleys and the Hula Valley. It also drew on the

written and oral contributions from many people familiar with water resources and problems throughout the study area. Careful attention was paid to the substantial bodies of research findings from universities and research groups in the cooperating countries and other areas, including those named in the acknowledgments and bibliography.

While during the period of the study the international political scene in the study area was marked by tensions and contending charges, this situation did not color or interfere with the participation of committee members or scientific agencies from which they drew information and expert opinion. This final report was unanimously approved by all committee members and reflects a friendly process of frank discussion and mutual learning that it is hoped will be continued by scientists and scholars. This cooperative spirit was seen even in the unprecedented process of peer review by representatives of four political communities.

The frank, constructive tone of the committee deliberations would not have been possible without the sympathetic support of the members of the cooperating institutions and individuals named in the acknowledgments, and of a committee staff deeply respected for its scientific rigor and administrative competence. These staff were Sheila David and David Policansky, who had the administrative assistance of Jeanne Aquilino and the collaboration of WSTB director Stephen Parker. Individual committee members participated in preparing this final document in a variety of ways. All shared the sense that this was a unique opportunity, a chance to demonstrate the ability of concerned scientists and engineers to jointly help lay the groundwork for peaceful solutions to issues of critical social and environmental import in the foreseeable future.
