Discusses the technology available for resolving water problems in the Jordan and Euphrates river basins. In each of these watersheds, the discharge is strongly seasonally dependent. In addition, both the flow and the water quality decrease downstream as a result of evaporation losses, infiltration, and nonconsumptive uses. Because of these quality and quantity issues, long-term economic growth depends upon aggressive water resources management. Superimposed upon quantity and quality limits is an agricultural system that requires a significant and sustained hydrological and energy investment. Included in this paper are a review of the technologies used to improve water quality, a discussion of the use and limitations of technology in the context of the Jordan and Euphrates, and several examples of the application of technology in the study area.
