“Protecting the Environment” means to change our global perception: to change from a culture (and policy) that enables and even encourages excess consumerism that creates more and more system-wide problems and consumes natural resources, to a culture (and policy) based on wise consumption and maximum efficiency, that will improve the quality of life of the consumers and not only the volume of consumption. This applies especially to the policy regarding the water resource in our region that must be managed in a sustainable manner for current and future generations.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 The Study

WEDO / Friend of the Earth Middle East assigned Royal HaskoningDHV / DHV B.V. on the 27th of August

2012 to undertake the Integrated Trans-boundary Regional NGO Master Plan for the Lower Jordan River

(LJR) basin. Under this Contract DHV B.V. and its partners will provide technical services to prepare a

FoEME Master Plan: A Vision for the Lower Jordan River for the countries Jordan, Palestine and Israel

and integrated for the region as a whole in accordance with FoEME’s Terms of Reference (ToR) for this

project.

The Consultant issued a Draft Inception Report on the first of November 2012, which was discussed with

representatives of FoEME, SIWI, GNF and the Consultant on the 7th

of November at the Murad Resort,

Bethlehem. Next, FoEME provided a list of additional comment on the 19th

of November. In the current

final Inception Report, the Consultant incorporated these comments. This report furthermore includes the

revised work plan, the Logical Framework Analysis, and the updated Time Schedule for the study.

The study’s overall objective is to create a regional NGO master plan for the Lower Jordan River by

developing and harmonizing national master plans into a single cohesive trans-boundary master plan that

could be advanced in full or in part by the decision makers – both unilaterally at the national level and/or at

the regional level. The Master Plan shall be steered by principles of sustainable development including

environmental flows provided through its natural resources; a healthy eco-system; equitable sharing of

water resources; free public accessibility for all nationalities within an appropriate security framework; and

a healthy economic development perspective.

The direct purpose of this project is to publish the national and regional FoEME NGO Master Plans for the

Lower Jordan River, and to use the study results and publications as an advocacy tool with national

stakeholders, the EU and various actors of the international community to increase political will for the

adoption in full or in part of the study's recommendations by the national authorities in the region.

The following results are foreseen under this study:

a) Published Jordanian NGO Master Plan for the Lower Jordan River from the Yarmouk River in the

north to the Dead Sea in the south.

b) Published Palestinian NGO Master for the Lower Jordan River from Bezek Stream in the north to

the Dead Sea in the south.

c) Translation, review and Gap Analysis of the existing Israeli Master Plans from the exit of the

Lower Jordan River from the Sea of Galilee to Naharyim (completed by the Kinneret Drainage

Authority) and from Naharyim to Bezek Stream (currently being prepared by the Lower Jordan

River Drainage Authority). Furthermore the Israeli NGO Master Plan for the Lower Jordan River

from the southern tip of the Sea of Galilee to Bezeq Stream will be published.

d) Integration of all three (Jordanian, Palestinian and Israeli) national NGO Master Plans for the

Lower Jordan River into a single transboundary regional NGO Master Plan for the Lower Jordan

River.

e) National and Regional Strategic Action Plans to advance the implementation of the National and

Regional NGO Master Plans, including recommendations, identification of no-regret actions for

staged implementation.

2 THE INCEPTION PHASE

2.1 SIWI Middle East Seminar

During the Inception Phase the Consultant participated in the “SIWI Middle East Seminar: Trans-boundary

Water Planning in the Lower Jordan River Basin”, in the Marriot Hotel, Amman, Jordan, from September 9-

11, 2012. The main objective of the SIWI Seminar was to enable main stakeholders to identify important

points to be taken along by the Consultant in the remainder of this study.

During the seminar, organized by Stockholm International Water Institute, the Trans-boundary Master

Planning of the Lower Jordan River Basin project was presented and discussed. Various presentation and

session were provided by a group of internationally renowned organizations and professionals. During this

Seminar the Consultants provided an introductory presentation of the current study and of the results of a

previous study performed by DHVMED for FoEME Israel for the northern part of the Lower Jordan Valley.

Below the feedback is listed as recorded by the Consultant during the SIWI Seminar in September 2011,

which will be incorporated in the current study.

Legal related comments:

Regional NGO Master plans shall take into account existing bilateral and multilateral agreements

signed by the three parties

It shall propose dispute mechanisms

Question was raised how and when we may engage Lebanon and Syria in the LJR planning as

well, and what legal frameworks would be required? Nevertheless, the Consultant will not engage

these countries within the scope of this study.

Environment related comments:

Environmental issues should include water flow, water availability, water demand management,

biodiversity and climate change, demography and land use

Environmental Policy options shall focus on: data and information management; involvements of

national environmental authorities; the use of (best internationally available) environmental

standards; water and environmental pricing policies; ways to determine the carrying capacity of

the LJR basin and related (maximum) size of urban areas and population; setting environmental

protection zones without double political agenda’s; applying best environmental practices for

agriculture and industry; use of non-conventional water resources

Political Support related comments:

Political support is required to achieve free accessibility for all nationalities under appropriate

security conditions

Master Plan shall clearly outline the direct benefits, including economic benefits, for politicians

and decision makers

The Plan aims at encouraging politicians to visit the LJR, in order to touch reality

“ Hope” is one of the key words for the NGO Master Plan, opposite to “Fear”

“Religions” are an important driving force for making the Master Plans work, although sites should

be owned and managed independently from religions

Local people should have their demands heard in the master plans, including their social benefits.

The foreseen stakeholder events will support this process

Short term results are important and should be separated from strategic long term results

Royal HaskoningDHV


Client confidential

The Master Plan shall separate “no regret” measures (on which all parties can agree quickly) from

interventions that need to be worked out in a situation under conflicts of interest. Using risk

assessment approached might be helpful

Economic related comments:

Where will the money come from? The action plan shall include an outlook for financing for

instance through PPP or through TTT (tariffs, taxes and transfer)

The Master Plan shall take note of the fact the validation (the price of water) is not the same in all

three countries

One approach might be to do a risk assessment on the current situation (environmental, social,

economic, political risks etc), and next calculate the costs for mitigating these risks

A social assessment will be required as well

The NGO Master Plan might include principles for Water Trading among the three countries, be it

that this requires an appropriate legal framework for property rights

Financial assessment shall be separated from economic assessment

Externalities and scarcity impacts shall be considered in the cost calculations

Rely on open market mechanisms for optimizing of economic sectors (f.i. agriculture)

Job impacts (loss and creating) shall be taken into consideration

Economic beneficiaries should (co-) finance required investments

Polluter Pays Principle shall be applicable as well

Water Pricing: to be blocked (first user block cheap, next ones more expensive)

EU Water Framework Directive might act as example for LJR, including its arrangements for

dividing costs

Economic growth shall be de-coupled from growth in water consumption

Cleaner water in the JLR could generate algae growth in the Dead Sea

IRR (internal rates of return) and DRR (development rates of return) to be used for justifying

investment decisions

Water pricing does not necessarily reflect the ecological and social values of water

Public Participation related comments:

Public Participation is an essential link between local, national and regional planning levels

Different interest groups shall participate in the planning process

Early successes and lessons learnt shall be taken into consideration

Public Participation can benefit from involvement of participants from outside the region

It is important to set realistic goals and tangible outcomes

Palestinian public and stakeholders shall be involved fully in PP process, despite travelling

restrictions

Social issues related comments:

Human welfare and livelihood shall derive from shared benefits

The Master Plan shall incorporate that fact that the LJR is part of the overall Jordan River basin,

including watershed areas in Lebanon and Syria, and including the Dead Sea.

Indigenous knowledge to be incorporated in the Master Plans

Benefits shall be mapped, including their origin and their beneficiaries

Linking social groups to politicians will create greater political awareness

Cultural events to be hosted / initiated in the LJR

Media shall be mobilized to disseminate the Master Plan outputs

Geo-politics related comments:

Royal HaskoningDHV


Client confidential

Geo-politics shall be incorporated in Master Plan through outlining Who get What, When, Where

and How (against what price)

The Master Plan is part of the overall Jordan River basin. This implies that problems from outside

the LJR cannot be addressed within the LJR. This may require larger regional approaches (like

Med – Dead or Red – Dead type of solutions)

Un-accountant for water is to be addressed in the Master Plans.

Raising the awareness of the importance of rehabilitation of the LJR may provide the region with

new opportunities and a new identity

The following important meetings are foreseen throughout the project as well, and their feedback will also

be incorporated in the project:

FoEME National Jordan River Forum meetings taking place in each country, proposed for

November 2012, August 2013, January 2014 and September 2014

FoEME Regional Jordan River meetings taking place in each country, proposed for April 2013,

March 2014 and December 2014

Public conference at the national level taking place in each country proposed in October 2013

Regional Public Conference proposed for June 2014

SIWI Middle East Seminars to further discussions and dialogue about the aims and objectives of

the master planning process, the next one proposed for September 2014.

2.2 FoEME Good Water Neighbors Regional Conference

The Consultant also participated in the Good Water Neighbors Regional Conference, focused on

celebrating a Decade of Problem Solving on Water Issues through the cross border ‘Priority Projects’ of

the Good Water Neighbors Project, which took place from September 12-13 in the InterContinental Hotel in

Jericho.

This conference was attended by 280 Israelis, Jordanians, Palestinians and International guests, learning

about cross border water priority projects identified in each of the "Good Water Neighbors" communities in

the Jordan River Basin. The 19 projects were showcased at the conference through various presentations.

Furthermore, representatives from the World Bank, the US Agency for International Development, the

Japanese International Cooperation Agency, the German Cooperation Agency and the Spanish

Foundation for the Promotion of Social Culture in Jerusalem presented their water & sanitation and other

projects in the region, updating the audience on the wide spectrum of activities being undertaken.

The conference was concluded with panel discussions among Parliamentarians from Jordan, Palestine

and Israel, as well as among mayors and municipal representatives from the participating communities in

the Jordan Valley.

2.3 Project Logical Framework Session

The Consultant organized a Logical Framework Session with representatives of FoEME on the 20th

of

September from 10:00 - 14:00 hours at the Everest hotel in Beit Jala near Bethlehem.

During this session the Consultant representatives had the opportunity to introduce themselves to FoEME.

Next the objectives, study results, proposed activities and the project related risks were discussed as input

for the final Logical Framework presented further on in this Inception Report.

It was confirmed that the overall objective of the project is to build consensus and sustainable co-operation

links between the Jordanian, Israeli, and the Palestinian leaderships, which actively promote sustainable

water management policies and practices through a regional approach to IMWR in the Lower Jordan River

(LJR) Basin. Furthermore it was agreed that the direct purpose of the study is to publish national FoEME

NGO Master Plans for the Lower Jordan River and to create a Regional NGO Master Plan for the Lower

Jordan River by developing and harmonizing the national master plans into a single cohesive plan that

could be advanced by decision and to use the study results and publications as an advocacy tool with

national stakeholders, the EU and various actors of the international community to increase political will for

the adoption in full or in part of the study's recommendations by the national authorities in the region.

During this session the Consultants took note of the following remarks:

The importance of the GLOWA report for the WEAP modeling under this study

The numerous relevant reports and studies that have been done by FoEME and others in the

study area, that are to be revisited by the Consultants, where needed confirmed by field checks

The suggestions was made to create a buffer zone around outflows into the LJR for quality

protection purposes

The issue of Israeli settlers in the West Bank was discussed, and how to approach this issue in

the study’s scenario development.

It was agreed that the Consultant would elaborate one scenarios until 2050:

Full Economic Co-operation Scenario, including a two-state solution in which the settlers

would move out of the Palestinian state on the West Bank, and an economic model based

on extensive three-state co-operation in the region. This scenario will have its implication on

for instance land use, population growth and water demands. The scenario will also act as

base case for developing strategies and interventions for the rehabilitation of the Lower

Jordan River.

The idea was discussed to rehabilitate the LJR based on creating the highest possible added

value on the water to be returned to the Jordan river, including possibilities to re-circulate the

water in a closed loop

The importance of developing tourism potentials with related economic benefits was underlined

The importance of outlining the proposed physical boundaries of the study area in the Inception

Report was discussed

The relations of the study area with the wider Jordan Valley (including sea of Galilee, upper

Jordan River and Dead Sea) were discussed

The need for national NGO plans that reflect the individual national interests and the challenge to

integrate them into one cohesive plan were discussed

The idea was raised to distinguish between No-Regret measures, fitting to the framework of the

individual national plans under the assumed scenario; and higher purpose measures, that will

require more intense modes of co-operation between the three core countries prior to their

implementation.

The importance of identification and participation of stakeholders during the planning process was

discussed.

2.4 Inception Workshop

The Consultant organized an Inception Workshop on the 7th

of November at the Murad Resort in

Bethlehem for representatives of FoEME, SIWI, GNF and the Consultants team, to discuss the draft

Inception Report issued on the first of November. During this Inception Report a baseline summary was

provided on the current status of the Lower Jordan River Basin. The reports assessed during the Inception

phase were shortly presented in terms of current water management related challenges faced by the

Jordan, Palestine and Israel.

Next, the proposed overall objectives, direct project purpose and anticipated project results were

presented and the related verifiable indicators, sources of information, and risks and assumptions were

discussed. A brief summary of the related projects activities were presented as part of the log frame and

the principles of setting the boundaries for the study area and outlining the input data for the study were

explained.

The proposed GIS methodology for the project was presented, including a proposed application for on-line

sharing of GIS information. The format for data management was explained, including management of

sources of information and date of origin. Next, the proposed study boundaries were presented, based on

the land use and geography of the Jordan Valley, while the previously performed land planning work for

Israel was presented as an example. Specifically the boundaries of the study area in Israel beyond road 70

were discussed during the Inception Workshop.

The technical principles of WEAP were explained and the results of the WEAP exercise under the “Road

Map” study were demonstrated. It was explained that the GLOWA study using WEAP will be used as

starting point for the project, and the required formats of input and foreseen output were discussed

Next Mr. Saeb Bamya chaired a plenary discussion on geo-political aspects of the study, in particular the

linkage between the technical aspects and the political context of the study. Is was concluded that future

projections (scenario) should be made on clear principles, on the basis of accurate estimates and in

appropriate wording.

The proposed participatory planning approach for the project was explained, and the need to have a an

effective interface between stakeholder events and information input was discussed. The principles of

planning along alternative future developments (scenario) versus interventions (strategy) were explained

and discussed as well.

The activities as part of the detailed work plan were presented and discussed, and it was explained that

the baseline data collection phase will be concluded with a joint evaluation together with FoEME, to

confirm that all reasonable efforts have been taken to provide a strong data foundation for the next

planning phase. It was agreed during the Workshop that a resolution of 1:50,000 for the project area will

be applied, with a scale of 1:10,000 for the areas of the proposed project interventions.

Finally it was explained that all major types of pollution will be part of the study, but that only salt will be

taken along quantitative in the WEAP calculations. It was also explained that calibration of pollution

sources data and in-situ WQ data are crucial for any quantitative modeling exercise.

A short summary of the above listed reports is presented hereafter.

The internationally recognized World Heritage values of the Lower Jordan Valley are strongly related to its

unique historic, religious, cultural, economic and environmental values, not at least due to its typical rift

valley topography and the unique mineral composition of the Dead Sea waters [lit 1]. The Lower Jordan

River (LJR) originates at the Sea of Galilee and meanders along 200 km down to the Dead Sea through

the Jordan Valley. Over 300,000 Israelis, Jordanians and Palestinians live on both sides of the Lower

Jordan River.

Almost the entire water inflow into the Lower Jordan River (LJR) has been diverted; the river currently

holds about 2 % of the river’s historic natural flow [lit 5]. This has severe impacts on the river system itself,

as well as to the area’s unique ecosystem and to the approximate 500 million migratory birds that used to

migrate through the Jordan basin twice a year [lit 8]. The Dead Sea, which relies on the Lower Jordan

River as its primary water source, is reaching a critical point of damage from the almost complete lack of

inflow. If nothing will change, irreversible damages are predicted in the Jordan Valley within the next 25

years. Both the European Union and the United States Senate have passed resolutions voicing concern

over the deterioration of the river and calling on the Israeli, Jordanian and Palestinian governments to

make rehabilitation of the Lower Jordan River a priority. Below figure presents the water balance of the

Lower Jordan River Basin during the 1950s.

The Jordan River during the 1950 closely still resembled its historic natural water balance, not yet much

influenced by artificial human interception: about 605 MCM (Million Cubic Meters) was discharged into the

Jordan River from the Sea of Galilee and 455 MCM originated from the Yarmouk river in Jordan. Additional

inflow came from the Yarmouk basin as well as from the Zarqa river basin in the East Bank, as well as

from annual rain floods from the West Bank. The outflow of the Jordan River in 1950 into the Dead Sea

was about 1285 MCM. This amount was about equal to the total evaporation from the surface of the Dead

Sea, leading to an average a stable surface water table of the Dead Sea [lit 28].

By the year 2000 [lit 26] the water balance had changed drastically and substantial flows were meanwhile

diverted by the riparian countries of the Jordan River Basin:

1. About 100 MCM per year was diverted by Israel from the Upper Jordan river system, which

reduced the inflow into the Sea of Galilee

2. About 440 MCM per year was diverted by Israel from the southern mouth of Lake Tiberius to feed

to Israeli National Water Carrier (NWC)

3. About 155 MCM per years is withdrawn by Jordan from the Yarmouk River to feed the Amman,

the Zarqa Region and to irrigate the East Bank.

Figure 2– Approximate Water Balance Lower Jordan River Basin (2000) [lit 28]

The remaining flow in the Lower Jordan River Basin in the year 2000 was about 145 MCM in its northern

section. Addition return flows from the irrigated areas in the East Bank increased the base flow of the

Lower Jordan River to 275 MCM, flowing into the Dead Sea. Today may have been reduced to less than

100 MCM. This reduction in recharge of the Dead Sea caused a dramatic decline in its water levels, not

only due to the impact of upstream water diversion projects, but also due to the mineral extraction

industries in the southern basin of the Dead Sea [lit 28].

In addition, Israel constructed the Saline Water Carrier, which transfers saline water from salt water spring

around the Sea of Galilee to the Lower Jordan River. This has caused a substantial increase in salinity in

the river system, leading to severe negative ecological impacts [lit 5].

Bare land with high salt concentrations around the shrinking coast line of the Dead Sea can still be

noticed. Up until today the Dead Sea water level is dropping with about 1 meter per year. Furthermore

serious damage is occurring around the Dead Sea as result of over pumping of aquifers threatening

springs such as Ein Feshka and Ein Gedi.

Figure 3 – Retrieving Dead Sea

Numerous initiatives have been undertaken by the individual riparian countries and international

organizations towards the Jordan Valley, although largely based on national interests without effective

coordination amongst the three parties. One of the exceptions might be the Red to Dead Sea Water

Conveyance project initiative, for which the World Bank issued feasibility and environmental studies in

2008 [lit 20]. This initiative focuses on saving the Dead Sea, but does not include restoration plans for the

Lower Jordan Valley upstream of the Dead Sea. Clearly, the lack of a serious Peace Process and

consequent limited co-operation between the Israeli and Palestinian parties play an important role in this

lack of efficient regional co-operation.

The rehabilitation of the Lower Jordan River has been a central aim of Friends of the Earth Middle East

(FoEME) since its establishment in 1994. Through political advocacy campaigns, major research and

regional rehabilitation efforts, real changes have already been made. For instance, new sewage treatment

plants have been constructed or planned in Jordan, Israel and Palestine, which will enable treatment of

polluted wastewater flowing currently into the river. Earlier research conducted for FoEME / WEDO

concludes that the Lower Jordan River may require 400 - 600 MCM of fresh water per year to reach an

acceptable rehabilitation level [lit19]. FoEME assessed that in theory dedicated water saving and water

demand management projects may generate up to a Billion cubic meters of water to be used to rehabilitate

the river [lit 7, 18, 22]. FoEME / WEDO have also been successful in bringing together Israeli, Palestinian

and Jordanian government representatives to create the National and Regional “Lower Jordan River

Forums”.

As for Palestine, FoEME underlines that the water forecast for the upcoming years are bad. Today, an

estimated 220 Palestinian communities in the West Bank are not connected to a water network, forcing

about 340,000 people to rely on spring and rain water collection, or purchase expensive water from

tankers [lit 4]. For those who are connected to a water network, the water supply is often intermittent,

Royal HaskoningDHV

especially during the summer months, and the water is sometimes of poor quality. Palestinians are not

permitted to drill new wells or extend existing ones without a difficult-to-obtain Israeli permit. Furthermore,

the Palestinians have currently no access to the Sea of Galilee or the Jordan River. As a comparison:

while Israelis use an average of 348 liters of water per person per day (L/p/d), Palestinians in the West

Bank use an average of 70 L/p/d, which is well below the daily minimum of 100 L/p/d set by the World

Health Organization [lit 12].

Consequently, any increase in water availability in the West Bank will likely to be used first to meet the

basic water demands rather than supporting the rehabilitation of the Lower Jordan River Basin. FoEME’s

standpoint in this respect is that the Palestinians are not in the position to contribute to the Rehabilitation of

the Lower Jordan River, but should be entitled instead to have their fair share of water first to meet their

basic water demands. Meanwhile, recent preparations and construction of new wastewater treatment

plants and related wastewater reuse potentials throughout the West Bank seem to be an important first

step in the right direction.

FoEME developed a Jordanian Advocacy Strategic Action Plan to create political will towards rehabilitation

of the Lower Jordan River, including an environmental flows study and an economic analysis of water

conservation options. Furthermore, grass root communities have been educated and empowered by

FoEME, and awareness campaigns, seminars and Local Forum Group Meetings have been organized to

advocate the necessary actions for the rehabilitation works, including:

Establishment of a Local Community Forum to educate and empower local communities to

communicate their needs to all level politicians and to advocate sustainable development in their

areas through integrating the proposed water saving options into the local development plans

Awareness Campaign on Local Community Level on Sustainable Water Management, to educate

and empower local communities to communicate their needs to all level politicians and to

advocate sustainable development in their areas through integrating the proposed water saving

options into the local development plans

Seminar on the Situation of the Jordan River and Identified Water Saving “Wedges” for Local

Media, and Public Awareness Campaign on Water Issues through Local Media, to raise

awareness of the general public and local media on the efficient water management and water

status issues in the country, thus obtaining their support for proposed water saving measures that

eventually will contribute to rehabilitation of the Lower Jordan River

Meetings of the Local Forum Group with the Local Council and with the Ministry of Water and

Irrigation, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, the Ministry of

Environment, the Ministry of Planning, the Jordan Valley Authority, the Water Authority of Jordan,

the Royal Water Committee, the House of Senators and the House of Representatives , to obtain

commitment from all level politicians and decision-makers to support the proposed measures on

Lower Jordan River Rehabilitation

The Israel Strategic Action Plan for the Lower Jordan River performed for FoEME in 2010 concludes that

the Sea of Galilee (and the Yarmouk river basin) might again be used to recharge the Lower Jordan River

if the water levels in the Sea of Galilee can be raised above the critical "red line". New desalination

projects along Mediterranean coastline, as well as wastewater treatment and reuse initiatives and water

efficiency and demand projects may free up the required water resources for the Lower Jordan River

basin.

2.6 Main Challenges Ahead

The main challenge for the Lower Jordan Valley under this study is now to develop national NGO master

plans for Palestine and Jordan, to revisit and publish Israeli NGO master plans for the Lower Jordan River

Basin, and to develop one single cohesive transboundary Master Plan for the Lower Jordan Valley based

on these national master plans. The transboundary master plan will have to effectively address the

environmental, socio-economic and cultural challenges of the region, based on clear and equal support

from the regional stakeholders and the three riparian entities.

Figure 4 – Jordanian Baptism Site along Jordan River

From 2008 – 2010 FoEME initiated assessments of the current national barriers that need to addressed in

order to rehabilitate the Jordan River Basin. These assessments provide an important foundation for the

current study for understanding the potential obstacles towards reaching a transboundary master plan.

The following major barriers have been identified:

Palestine [lit 12]

The Palestinians suffer from severe water shortages as described above, and rehabilitation of the Jordan

River Basin shall take into account the need to increase Palestinian water availability. The following related

barriers have been identified:

Royal HaskoningDHV


Client confidential

Barriers related to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank:

1. Inequitable distribution and Israeli Control of West Bank Water Resources: The West Bank

groundwater resources are controlled by the Israeli authorities, which abstract approximately 85% of

its groundwater for it own purposes, including for the settlements on the West Bank. Meanwhile the

Jordan river surface water resources are diverted fully by Israel and Jordan, without anything being

allocated to the Palestinians. On the other hand Israel transfers and sells about 50 MCM per year of

water from Israel to the West Bank

2. Palestinian Movement Restrictions in West Bank and the Jordan Valley: Israel operates many

military checkpoints throughout the West Bank for the Palestinians, which create obstacles for free

transport of persons and equipment such as pumps, fuel and water supply equipment, particularly in

the areas B and C.

3. Destruction of vital water infrastructure: Conflicts between Israel and Palestine in the West Bank

have caused destruction and damages to existing Palestinian water infrastructure, including

Palestinian wells and pipelines, and closing off water supply networks.

Barriers related to Technology and Infrastructure

4. Lack of Insufficient Infrastructure. In those cases where the Palestinians have full control over their

infrastructure, such as near Yatta, the Palestinian Water Authority are often faced by lack of local

infrastructure development capacities, which slows down construction and repair works.

5. Lack of wastewater management. The wastewater collection and treatment facilities in the West

Bank are not advanced. Only a small portion of the Palestinian wastewater is treated and reused. On

the other hand, various new treatment plants are currently under construction in the West bank,

providing new opportunities to embark on larger scale reuse of wastewater for agricultural purposes.

6. Lack of fund management capacities: Palestine depends largely on external international funding for

its infrastructure investments. These funds are sometimes put on hold due changing political

positions by the donor organizations. Furthermore, these funds depend on particular donor

development policies, which might deviate from Palestinian national policies. This all limits the

Palestinian freedom in terms of money allocation and fund management.

7. Water losses: Many of the water supply systems in Palestine are old, and have high rates of

unaccountant for water. This includes both physical water losses as well as water supply that is not

paid for.

Barriers related to Management Capacities

8. Information Shortage: There is a lack of hydrological monitoring capacity in Palestine, reducing the

possibilities to fully understand the behavior and to manage the groundwater resources.

9. Lack of IWRM: the Palestinian Authority does not have adequate means and capacities to implement

full integrated Water Resources Management principles, leading to sub-optimal management of the

water resources

Royal HaskoningDHV


Client confidential

10. Lack of Water Demand Management: the Palestinian Authority does not have the means and

capacities to optimize water demand management principles, leading to relative unnecessary high

water losses. This also includes lack of water pricing policies to steer water demands and manage

water losses

Jordan [lit 21]

Jordan has a more advanced water management and supply system, which includes extensive treatment

and reuse of wastewater. Nevertheless up to 60% of the water is used for agricultural purposes with

relative low economic rates of returns. To embark on more sustainable water resources management

policies will require a rethinking of the role of agriculture in Jordan. The barrier report identified

furthermore the following actions for improving water resources management in the Lower Jordan River

Basin:

1. Strengthening of the capacity of the institutions involved in water management in the area;

2. Improve coordination and cooperation between various stakeholders involved in water management;

3. Enforcement of existing laws, by-laws and regulations and updating of the legislation when

necessary;

4. Enhance awareness of local population on the water issues and efficient use of water resources;

5. Optimization of tariff policies on water used for irrigation, including enforcement, to stimulate more

efficient use of water and to reduce the overall agricultural share of water in Jordan;

6. Encouragement of more sustainable agricultural practices, such as drip irrigation, plantation of crops

more suitable to the climatic conditions in Jordan, optimized use of pesticides and fertilizers, as well

as applying safe water reuse and recycling methods;

7. Applying the principles of an integrated environmental management systems (EMS), including

reduction of pollution and waste generation at the source, and applying affordable end-of-pipe

treatment and reuse technologies;

8. Increasing economic rates of return in the agricultural sector, by introduction of high yield crops and

cash crops, which provide higher revenues per m3 of water than most of the currently applied crops;

9. Reducing abstraction from depleted aquifers, and reducing agricultural pollution of sensitive shallow

aquifers.

Israel [lit 11]

Israel has an advanced water management system, including large scale treatment and reuse of

wastewater, desalination of seawater for urban water supply and an advanced system of water policies,

monitoring, enforcement and water pricing. Nevertheless, Israel faces water shortages as well. To address

the situation, the Governmental Authority for Water and Sewage announced a series of measures that

focused largely on further increase of wastewater treatment capacity and extending desalination capacity

to meet agricultural needs and the growing demand from domestic users. Meanwhile FoEME undertook a

study to identify alternatives for creative policy solutions to the water crisis, including plans for rehabilitation

of the Lower Jordan River Basin.

The barrier report identified the following actions for improving Israeli water resources management in the

Lower Jordan River Basin:

1. The report concludes that in the case of the Lower Jordan River, ‘nature’s right to water’ is a concept

that is entirely overlooked in the lower Jordan River. The water that used to flow in the River channel

is fully diverted to meet the growing needs of various consumers in Israel. Consequently, the Lower

Jordan River basin is currently deprived of the essential water flows to sustain important natural

assets. Still, the report notes that it is not too late for the Lower Jordan River; and that swift and

effective actions are needed to save the ecological status of the Jordan River Basin.

2. The Israeli domestic demands for water have grown significantly over the last decade due to

population growth and an increase in the standard of living, which has been largely addressed

through desalination of seawater. FoEME notices that this generates negative environmental impacts

in terms of high energy consumption and discharge of brine back into the sea.

3. FoEME believes that desalination should be a last resort solution, rather than being adopted without

due consideration of more sustainable alternatives. The report recommends that Israeli policymakers

need to take immediate measures to manage the demand for fresh water rather than rely on energy-

intensive solutions with negative environmental impacts. It furthermore states that if there are no

measures in place to control water demands, the urban and agricultural water needs will grow

exceptionally.

4. To embark on more sustainable water resources management policies will require a rethinking in

Israel of the balance between water for domestic and agricultural purposes on the one hand, and

ecological water requirements on the other hand. FoEME issued its position on Desalination in Israel

through the paper: “How Much and What is the Alternative?” It concludes that desalination is often

the more expensive approach to resolving water supply challenges, both for the economy at large as

for individual consumers. FoEME believes that a water economy based on conservation and demand

management would better reinstall the national water resources to public ownership.

The above three issues have been further elaborated by FoEME through DHVMED in the “Road Map for

the Rehabilitation of the Lower Jordan River” [lit5]. This road map focuses on the LJR segment from the

Sea of Galilee to the Bezek Stream, where Israel and Jordan are the riparian countries, and uses WEAP

as water modeling tool to calculate water related actions and impacts.

The required flows for an ecological restoration of the Jordan River were earlier calculated in FoME’s

Environmental Flow Report published in 2010 [lit 19], leading to a minimum flow of 400 MCM/yr throughout

the year, increasing to 600 MCM / yr over time and a maximum salinity of 750 mg / liter. Furthermore the

Royal HaskoningDHV


Client confidential

river would require at least one annual flood of 20 – 50 m3/sec for a minimum duration of 24 hours, with a

total flow of about 4 MCM.

The Road Map report concludes that in the next 30 years, the situation for the LJR is expected to improve

with the rise in the water level of the See of Galilee and the partial desalination of the Saline Water Carrier.

In the 2020's overspills of the Sea of Galilee will provide occasional flood flows in the LJR, contributing to

the ecologically required annual floods. It is expected that the salinity in the upper part will reach about

1,300 mg/ liter in 2020. The salinity will between Harod and the Bezeq spring will rise to 2,000 mg/ liter,

especially during autumn and early winter as result of discharge of saline wastewater from surrounding fish

ponds.

Figure 5 – Projected Water Levels in the Sea of Galilee [lit 5]

The Road map recommends furthermore changing the operation of the Deganiya dam once the water level

in the Sea of Galilee has risen. Analysis shows that releasing 125 MCM/Yr will be feasible when the water

level in the Sea of Galilee is above the red level, assuming that the seawater desalination program in Israel

progresses as planned.

Additional actions will be required to bring the LJR within 10 to 15 years to an adequate ecological

condition, particularly during drought years. Meeting the salinity goal of 750 mg/L will be most difficult close

to the Bezeq Stream, while upstream the salinity levels can be managed easier. These actions may

include cutting back existing water rights in the LJR basin allowing an additional flow in the LJR of 40

MCM/Yr. [lit 5]

2.7 Proposed Boundaries of the Study Area

The study focuses on the Lower Jordan River basin and will include water and environmental aspects,

social and economic aspects, infrastructure aspect and spatial planning related aspects. It is proposed that

the boundaries of the study area will be determined as follows:

1. Water flow: all relevant inflow and outflow phenomena directly linked to the Lower Jordan River

will be considered, including streams, major springs, wells, wastewater effluents and diversions

along the LJR. Boundary locations will include the point of outflow from the Yarmouk river into the

LJR; outflows from the Sea of Galilee, including the Saline Water Carrier and the point of outflow

from the LJR into the Dead Sea.

2. Water Demands: all relevant water abstractions within the LJR basin that directly influence the

water flow in the LJR will be considered, including wells and surface water abstractions for

domestic, industrial and agricultural use as well as ecological water requirements. Water

demands that influence the LJR on a wider scale, such as abstractions from the Israeli National

Water Carrier, the King Talal Dam or the Yarmouk River Basin will not be modeled as part of this

study

3. Water Quality: all phenomena that directly influence the quality of the LJR will be considered,

including wastewater effluents, fish pond discharges and solid waste dump leachate (if relevant).

Major pollution sources will be described in terms of their characteristics, locations and their

impact on the water system. This will be the basis for the formulating interventions with regard to

effective pollution control throughout the Lower Jordan River Basin. Salinity will be also

incorporated in the WEAP quantitative modeling exercise. This will enable the Consultant to make

calculated estimated of future salinity levels in the Lower Jordan River system.

4. It is proposed that the social, economic, infrastructure and spatial planning aspects will be

considered as presented in the following study map. The exact limits will be set during the first

phase of the project by the Land Use Expert, with road number 90 through Israel and the West

Bank, and road number 65 through Jordan as starting points. The exact limits will be set based

on the topography, and will be drawn along the upper edge of the Jordan Valley and will logically

cut through the wadi’s on both sides. The final boundaries will be presented in one unified spatial

coordinate system for both Israel, Jordan and the West Bank.

indicators?

Overall objective

To build consensus and sustainable co-operation links between the Jordanian, Israeli

and Palestinian leaderships which actively promote sustainable water management

policies an practises through a regional approach to IWRM in the Lower Jordan River

(LJR) Basin

Government representative and key

political "champions" maintain

participation in the process of creating

a Trans-Boundary Integrated Regional

Master Plan for the Lower Jordan River

Basin.

Participation of these targets at

meetings and conferences at every

stage of development for the National

Master Plans and Integrated Trans-

Boundary Regional Master Plan.

It is assumed that country's government

representatives and water officials are able to

meet ex-officio at regional meetings and

conferences and to discuss water issues from

a regional perspective. It is also assumed that

the West Bank will become part of the future

State of Palestine, which is recognized as a

riparian to the Jordan River and has an

equitable share of the Jordan RIver water. It is

assumed that all Israeli settlements will be

removed from the State of Palestine, and that

appropriate security arrangements and zones

are taken into account

Specific Objective

To publish national FoEME NGO Master Plans for the Lower Jordan River and to create

a Regional NGO Master Plan for the Lower Jordan River by developing and harmonizing

the national master plans into a single cohesive plan that could be advanced by

decision and to use the study results and publications as an advocacy tool with national

stakeholders, the EU and various actors of the international community to increase

political will for the adoption in full or in part of the study's recommendations by the

national authorities in the region

1. Publication of the Jordanian,

Palestinian, and Israeli National Plans

and distribution to key targets; 2.

Publication of the Trans-Boundary

Integrated Master Plan for the Lower

Jordan River Basin and distribution to

key targets 3. brochures translated

and printed. 5. Attendance of key

targets at the Regional Conference

and the subsequent Middle East

Seminar presenting the published

Trans-Boundary Integrated Master

Plan for the Lower Jordan River

Basin.

WEDO/FoEME will publish and

distribute the Plan; target recipients

will be invited to present feedback

and attend the Regional Conference

and the subsequent SIWI Middle East

Seminar. Feedbacks and protocols

will be documented and evaluated.

Military or political interests could prevent

researchers' access to the river or withhold

other information necessary for the completion

of the proposed thorough technical and other

studies; A rise in political tensions or outright

conflict in this regional zone of conflict could

prevent the cooperative attitudes this project

will cultivate and require; Similarly, such an

increase of tension could prevent the possibility

of holding regional meetings and conferences.

The issue of water could be 'held hostage' to

other objectives of the peace process, thus

mitigating the possibility of government

representatives and national institutions'

officials from participating.

3.3 Assumptions and Risks

As mentioned in the Terms of Reference, the following assumptions lay under the foreseen project

interventions:

a) That all West Bank areas of the Jordan Valley will be included in the future State of Palestine.

b) That all Israeli settlements will be removed from the Jordan Valley.

c) That despite the removal of Israeli settlements security arrangements might include creating a

security zone that will result in controlled access to the river itself at designated locations.

d) That the future State of Palestine will be recognized as a riparian to the Jordan River and will be

entitled to an equitable share of Jordan River waters as negotiated by the parties.

The Consultant fully underlines the importance and justice of these assumptions and will keep them in

mind during development of the scenario plans. Nevertheless, we propose to develop the Master Plans

and related Action Plans in such as manner that they will be as robust as possible, so to make sure that

their added value for the Lower Jordan Valley and its Palestinian stakeholders will remain in place also in

case (some of these) important assumptions would not be materialized during the time frames of the

Master Plans and Action Plans.

A clear risk for the projects is that government authorities and agencies in Israel, Jordan and/or Palestine

would not want to openly share data and information with the FoEME master planning project.

It should be noted that most of the hydrological data on the Israeli side already exists and was

incorporated in the model of the LJR prepared by DHV MED for FoEME. Ecological data can be found in

several sources for example FoEME environmental flows report on the rehabilitation of the Lower Jordan

River (2010), ecology chapters in the Lower Jordan River Drainage Authority and the Kinneret Drainage

Authority master plans, reports of the Israeli Natue and Parks Authority and university archives. Land use

data can be found in the websites of the Israel Land Administration, and GovMap. Additionally it can be

bought from MAPI. In general, information that exists in any Israeli Authority can be achieved by asking for

it according to the Freedom of Information Law.

The Consultant intends to mitigate this risk through the following measures:

1. The project team includes senior professional from Israel, Palestine and Jordan who have all

been involved in previous planning projects for the Jordan Valley, including the author

(DHVMED) of the “Roadmap for the Rehabilitation of the Lower Jordan River” for EcoPeace /

Friends of the Earth Middle East (November 2011). The methods and approaches applied here,

such as approach towards WEAP modeling will be duplicated in the current study

2. Our proposed Stakeholder Participation Manager is an international experienced expert with a

PhD degree in Participatory Planning approaches and substantial experience in this field. We

will apply balanced and proved methodologies to ensure that the three core parties will remain

involved throughout the planning process. Our approach will particularly focus on proving the

most relevant information to the stakeholders in time, so that they can make appropriate

judgments during participatory stakeholder events

3. DHV and partners have been successful in earlier trans-boundary co-operation projects in the

study region, and proved to be able to maintain active participation of the Palestinian, Israeli and

Royal HaskoningDHV


Client confidential

Jordanian counterparts (notably: Water Data Bank IV project under EXACT and the EU Jerash

and Fara’a Integrated Watershed Management Project). We intend to use these practical

experiences within this study, particularly in co-operation with the senior planning staff in the

relevant ministries in the three countries.

4. It is foreseen that crucial data have to be provided by the water and environmental authorities of

the three parties. Our Consortium has strong working relationships with these authorities in each

of the three countries, and has experience with preparing necessary statements of confidentiality

whenever needed to secure the appropriate utilization of these data. Particularly the Consultant

will co-operate with the Planning Departments and Directorates at the involved ministries and

authorities to ensure that the most recent planning data obtained in and through these

organizations will be available for the project. In those cases where the study would require

more detailed information that currently available through previous planning projects and related

governmental activities, the Consultant will assess in co-operation with FoEME to what extend

field checks can be performed within the scope of the current study, to bridge these gaps. As a

last resort, the Consultant will perform intra- and extrapolations of existing data to efficiently

complete the baseline data collection phase.

5. Our high level of local expertise within the project team will ensure that Israeli government

master plans written in Hebrew, and key documents for Jordan and the West Bank written in

Arabic will become fully available for the current study.

4 WORK PLAN


ASSESSMENT PHASE

4.1 Information Management

The Consultant will establish a protected shared project website that will be accessible to all project related

stakeholders on https://project.dhv.com

This site will allow for:

a central place for data and information management;

shared document libraries for centralized document management;

shared contact info;

shared calendars;

automated e-mail alerts to keep you posted on all changes within the project;

versioning available on all project info;

the most recent and up to date info at hand all over the world;

the possibility to tailor the project site to the required style, structure and functionality;

confidentiality is guaranteed by assigning unique permissions to the project;

Security by using encrypted communication (128 bit SSL) between each computer and the project

server.

The Consultant will furthermore provide Video Conferencing facilities and/or extended Skype facilities to

maintain communication throughout the project among all key players.

The Consultant will apply a Geographic Information System (GIS) to manage the spatial information under

this study. GIS allows digital map information to be combined with attribute information about features and

the maps, thereby providing the study participants with ways to use large sets of data within a special

format. The GIS system will enable a project scale of 1:10,000 with zoom-in options for relevant project

sections.

Typical GIS-based services to be provided within the study relate to data processing & management;

digital mapping; advanced spatial analysis and cartography (preparing and printing thematic GIS maps and

plans).

Since the input of reliable data is essential to run GIS efficiently and to provide sound decision making

support we will establish close links with existing GIS providing authorities within the three core parties,

and we will make use of the GIS data that the project partners have already gathered during previous

projects in the region. Based on this we will develop a spatial GIS system, including at least the following

layers:

1. topography

2. land use, including roads, energy and water infrastructure, urban and industrial area

3. Traffic and transportation

4. surface water

5. groundwater aquifers

https://project.dhv.com/

Royal HaskoningDHV


Client confidential

6. water resources

7. terrestrial and aquatic ecological areas

8. Raster images, including aerial photographs and satellite images

The required GIS software components that will be applied this project will be: ArcGIS-ArcView and Raster

images.

The Consultant will apply the Water Evaluation and Planning system WEAP including its GIS-based

graphical interface to evaluate water balances and to develop sustainable development strategies. WEAP

allows constructing, viewing and modifying the water configuration in the study area.

WEAP also allows to customize reports as graphical, tabular or map-based output and to select from a

number of formatting options (e.g., metric or English units, years, absolute levels, percent shares, or

growth rates).

In particular WEAP allows to:

Integrate water resources planning systems

Build-in models for: Rainfall runoff and infiltration, evapotranspiration, crop requirements and

yields, surface water/groundwater interaction, and instream water quality

WEAP is GIS-based, graphical "drag and drop" interface

It has a model-building capability with a number of built-in functions

Dynamic links to spreadsheets and other models

Embedded linear program solves allocation equations

Flexible and expandable data structures

Powerful reporting system including graphs, tables and maps

Context-sensitive help and User Guide

WEAP runs under Windows 2000, XP, Vista or 7 with 256 MB RAM

4.2 Baseline Data Collection

The baseline data collection activity will be performed by the LJR basin as a whole, including Palestine,

Jordan and Israel. The three country coordinators in co-operation with the international project manager

will be responsible for collection of all relevant baseline data. The Key experts will provide the project

manager and country coordinators with the required formats for each of the study disciplines.

In this respect the following baseline data related actions are foreseen:

1. All Key experts will evaluate the Baseline and study reports collected, and will assess to what

extend additional data will be required to initiate the planning process under the current study for

each of the three national NGO Master Plans

2. The key experts will provide the Project Manager and Country Coordinators with these additional

data requirements, including required formats for each country.

3. The Project Manager and (Country Coordinators if possible) will inquire in each country with

relevant institutions, ministries and authorities to what extend the additional information can be

provided, and will collect this information with support from the national experts. If certain sets of

information seem difficult to obtain, the Project Manager together with FoEME will formulate

specific actions to overcome these problems. This may include: approaching the ministries and

authorities with direct support from FoEME; requesting the EC Delegation to issue a supportive

letter; hiring external senior professionals for assistance from the Flexibility Pool; organizing field

Royal HaskoningDHV


Client confidential

surveys; etc. Detailed actions will be designed in a case by case basis, based on the type of

problems encountered.

4. Where needed field checks will be done to verify the collected data in terms of its suitability and

accuracy

5. Key experts will assess still remaining data gaps based on professional interpolation and

extrapolation of available data

6. The baseline data will be managed through the project’s database / GIS system

7. The final baseline data set will be presented and approved by the Consultant and FoEME prior to

initiating the actual planning process.

8. The quality of data and the way of collecting it - in a way that is decent to provide a good quality

report, and that should be approved by the FoEME country coordinators - is the responsibility of

Royal HaskoningDHV.

During the baseline data collection phase the key experts from Jordan, Palestine and Israel, supported by

international experts, will all together operate as one team under this study, covering all key fields of

expertise. It is expected that approximately 171 working days are to be spent on baseline data collection.

4.2.1 Water and Environmental Data Collection

Extensive water and environmental data analysis has already been performed within the framework of the

previous master plans prepared by the Israeli and Jordanian parties, including the Final Land Use Report

issued by the Jordan Valley (author: Sandra Chesrown) in the framework of the Jordan Valley Preliminary

Land Use Master Plan Project (USAID, August 2004) [ref 33].

The Consultant will assess these master plans and related data, and will develop a Gap Analysis in order

to determine the type and level of additionally required data collection to serve the objectives of this study.

The Gap Analysis may lead to the conclusion that additional field monitoring is needed, for which the

Consultant will reserve a budget line in its financial proposal.

The following information will be collected and analyzed:

Water

water resources

groundwater

water demands

water supply services

water quality

climate impacts

water facilities and water control structures

The Consultant will furthermore review and study international and locally recognized best practices for

watershed management activities by communities, NGOs, and business communities, and analyze

whether these practices are applicable to the LJR, especially in the Jordan River Basin.

work will be coordinated by the project manager (Jeroen Kool), together with the Governance

Expert (Patrick Huntjens).

4.2.2 Socio-economic Information Collection

The Consultant will assess the socio-economic situation in the Lower Jordan Basin, including involved

stakeholders under this study; a description of the civil society, business communities as well as

governmental agencies in the LJR basin and will develop a Gap Analysis in order to determine the type

and level of additionally required data collection to serve the objectives of this study. In some cases this

might relate to additional field surveys and interviews, for which the Consultant will reserve a specific

budget line in its financial proposal.

Specific emphasis will be given to representatives of local inhabitants in the planning process, to ensure

that they are well informed and that their concerns and knowledge are well incorporated in the planning

process. When required, their participation will be supported by events in their local languages.

The following types of socio-economics data will be assessed and analyzed:

● Economics - description of economic sectors, their spatial distribution, their resource utilization,

outputs and earnings

● Demographics - including population characteristics (age, nationality, gender, educational

attainment and more) and their spatial distribution. The Consultant will also provide population

projections in terms of growth, decline and migration

● Employment and unemployment - numbers of jobs by economic sector, occupation, and numbers

of people who are employed and unemployed

● Income and earnings - annual income levels, transfer payments

● Temporary Inhabitants (number of tourist, visitors, etc.)

● Traffic and Transportation, including available infrastructure, traffic flows and bottlenecks

Royal HaskoningDHV


Client confidential

The Consultant will conduct consultation meetings with stakeholders, communities, civil society, business

communities and government agencies in each country in the LJR basin, focusing on how to solve the

current problems in the environmental and water sector through community participation.

The social analysis for the river basin will identify:

groups who will benefit from and/or use the proposed Works;

groups who may be adversely affected by the works, including gender concerns;

local people;

geopolitical elements and effects.

Consultant will create and present to FoEME a brief adoption strategy that takes into consideration the

historical, social and cultural values and their priorities at local, national and regional level. In each social

analysis, the needs, demands, and absorptive capacity of the groups will be described, and the need to

compensate those likely to be adversely affected will be considered.

From secondary sources, socio-economic data will be derived, including current urban and rural population

levels and migration trends, growth predictions, presence of minority groups, land use and tenure,

employment, gender issues, division of labor, and productivity and family incomes, and supplement them

by interviews and rapid rural appraisal.

The eventual development strategies will be aggregated within the geopolitical data in all areas. The

potential direct and indirect impacts of the project on communities livelihood such as, food, security, health,

land tenure, access to and control of water resources, employment, tourism and ecological basic services

in the project area will be analyzed;

The risks, opportunities and specific mitigating measures and activities to address the identified negative

impacts on women in the project area will be assessed, as well as the capacity of communities, ministries,

and NGOs to identify and mitigate gender-related impacts. Capacity-building needs and mechanisms to

ensure that women participate in and benefit from the development and mitigation plans will be proposed.

Current water pricing will be reviewed in view of the principles of cost recovery and equity, including issues

such as water price subsidies and indirect pricing or taxation methods, and water license fees.

Furthermore the effectiveness of existing policies, laws, decrees, regulations, and circulars will be

assessed pertaining to the water sector that govern allocation of available water resources, water rights

and water pricing, project identification and implementation, funding mechanisms, water infrastructure

management, catchment management, environmental protection, environmental sanitation, and public

health. Shortcomings in these instruments will be identified.

On the basis of consultations with river basin stakeholders, a development strategy will be formulated,

including options for rehabilitations and development according to social, and environmental and

geopolitical conditions of the Lower Jordan River Basin.

Based on the available data, additional rapid urban appraisals and interviews will be performed focusing

on describing the current situation and on assessing the problems encountered, with emphasis on the

specific water and environmental problems at stake.

The position of lead expert on infrastructure issues will be filled in by the Project manager.

4.2.4 Cultural and Archeological Information Collection

The internationally recognized World Heritage values of the Lower Jordan River basin are strongly related

to its unique historic, religious, cultural and archeological values. Primitive agricultural systems were

introduced in the Jordan Valley about 10,000 years ago. Some of the oldest cities on earth were built here,

Royal HaskoningDHV


Client confidential

such a Jericho and Al Bariyah, and historic water-harnessing schemes have been developed here. By

about 3000 BC, agricultural products from the valley were exported throughout the Middle East and even

to Egypt.

The thermal mineral spring at Zarqa Ma’een is for instance famous for their restorative powers, which

hosts a therapeutic health spa; Qumran is famous as location where the Dead Sea Roles were discovered.

Other important World Heritages sites include places like Beit Shean, Degania, Ubadiyya, Sha’ar Hagolan,

Abila, Gedara and Pella. In addition, numerous historic and religious locations, wadis, springs and

monasteries are situation in the valley with great cultural significance. Finally the Dead Sea itself is famous

for being the lowest point on earth, lying 400 meters below sea level and a rich source of minerals

essential for treatment of various health issues. Today the Dead Sea is an important destination for

tourists, who are welcomed by various resorts and hotel along its coast line.

The Consultant will assess and analyze the important cultural and archeological sites and values in the

Lower Jordan Basin as part of this study, and will link these values to the Master Plans and Action Plan in

terms of required rehabilitation, conservation and management interventions. In particular the Consultant

will:

Recommend a plan of sites national, regional heritage sites along the River basin for

conservation, rehabilitation and development.

Recommend a plan to improve existing sites and suggestions for development of new sites

including potential trans-boundary sites.

Evaluate tourism potential of the proposed sites including potential trans-boundary sites.

Evaluate potential regional and international frameworks to safeguard sites of natural and cultural

heritage.

4.2.5 Baseline Data mapping

Mapping will be carried out based on updated aerial or satellite photos which will be supplied by the project

management. Mapping will be conducted using GIS software based on aerial or satellite photos and on a

1:50,000 scale maps which will be supplied by the project management. The mapping will be done on a

resolution of 1:10,000 and will be supplied on a 1:50,000 scale maps.

Above data collection will lead to an appropriate understanding of the following system components:

1. Flow data in the Jordan valley, including base and peak flows

2. Runoff data within the Lower Jordan catchment area

3. Evapo-transpiration from the Lower Jordan basin

4. Surface water levels, including the Dead Sea

5. Groundwater and Springs

6. Human water demands within the Lower Jordan basin, including irrigation, domestic and industrial

water demands

7. Environmentally sensitive areas and ecosystems, including flows and ecological water demands

8. Water Diversions from the Lower Jordan basin

9. Water Salinity levels

10. Pollution Sources within the Lower Jordan basin

11. Current and planned wastewater treatment plants

The above data will be used to develop a current water balance (using the Water Evaluation and Planning

system WEAP) and a water quality situation map for the Lower Jordan basin, which will be the basis for

Royal HaskoningDHV


Client confidential

both the Gap Analysis and for making future projections in terms of water demands, water resources

development and water quality control.

Interpretation analyses of the data will include: Preparation of integrated maps.

Conflict detection, environmental threats and constraints, nature, heritage, water resources,

tourism.

Detection of opportunities in the aforementioned areas. Preparation of classified maps on various topics: ecology, visual analysis, observation points and

landscape views, heritage, water resources susceptibility, vegetation vulnerability, etc.

4.3 First Public Consultation Workshops

The consultant will organize a series of stakeholder events, separately for Jordan and Palestine, and will

present and discuss with the stakeholders the most up-to-date information regarding the master planning

process. Presentations and information handouts will be made in both English and either Arabic and /or

Hebrew depending on the audience.

The Consultant will also coordinate with the Israeli Master Planning Teams to organize joint public

meetings in Israel in the framework of this study.

The Consultant will initiate the public consultation events by making a stakeholder analysis. This will be

done in close co-operate with FoEME, and will include preferably:

1. representatives of inhabitants in the LJR basin

2. representatives of relevant NGOs active in the LJR basin

3. representatives of the agricultural, tourist and mineral production economic sectors in the LJR

basin

4. representatives of national authorities (Palestian / Jordanian / Israeli) with jurisdiction in the LJR

basin

The Stakeholders will have restricted access to the project website at https://project.dhv.com to facilitate

their participation. This will include essential baseline data, project timeline, contact information, draft

reports issued for collection of comments, information sharing events, and more.

Public announcements will be made through internet and via local media in co-operation with FoEME’s

network and staff.

It is foreseen that initially stakeholder events will be organized separately for the Palestinians, Jordanians

and Israeli. Strong emphasis will be put on Palestinian participants due to the need for developing a

Palestinian LJR basin Master Plan as one of the key deliverances of this study, and the study’s vision of a

future State of Palestine that will be recognized as an equal riparian party to the Jordan River

The first series of workshops in Jordan, Palestine and Israel will be related to the national NGO master

planning processes, and will focus on consultation meetings with community stakeholders, civil society,

business communities and governmental representatives to discuss the baseline situation and related

problems, and to assess jointly the ideas on how to address the current situation and problems.

SCENARIO PROJECTIONS

4.4 Socio-economic Projections

The socio-economic projections will be made of the LJR Basin as a whole, with separate sections for


One of the main challenges regarding long-term projects of this kind are the uncertainties regarding future

developments and trends. This is especially true in trans-boundary Jordan Valley. Economic and social

Royal HaskoningDHV


Client confidential

changes and trends might also be hard to predict and thus difficult to address in the long term. Due to the

complexity and uncertainties associated with future scenario, decision makers can perform multiple runs of

different weighing schemes that take into consideration these projected future.

For the current study it is proposed to work along one potential future scenario until the year 2050, with

specific impacts on issues such as population growth, economic development, and related land and water

demands:

Full Co-operation Scenario: under this one scenario it will be assumed that within a limited number of

years Palestine will become an independent state next to Israel, with full civil, security and economic

authority over the West Bank. Under this scenario it will be assumed that the Israeli settlements on the

West Bank will be evacuated. This scenario will have specific impacts on population growth and

immigration. The economic perspectives for all parties will be positive and related future water demands

will be assumed accordingly. Under this one scenario accessibility to the Jordan River will be assumed for

all people in the region, and it will be assumed that development of joint projects in the study area will be

highly feasible.

This scenario will have its implication on for instance land use, population growth and water demands, and

will act as starting point for developing the strategy and related interventions for the rehabilitation of the

Lower Jordan River. The scenario will be based on projections to be provided by the Central Bureau of

Statistics and related governmental organizations, and will result of projections of land use and water

demands for the year 2050.

4.5 Water Projections

The water projections will be made for the LJR Basin as a whole, with separate sections for Jordan,

Palestine and Israel.

The water projections under the scenario will include projected water demands for domestic, industrial,

agricultural purposes. Domestic water demands will be estimated by multiplying population with per-capita

consumption rates. Agricultural demand will be calculated by assuming crop water requirements,

agricultural land areas and the crop water requirements per dunum. Fishponds water demands will be

based on extrapolation of existing models.

Under the proposed scenario it will be assumed that there will be a strong economic basis for full

wastewater treatment in the study area, leading to a maximized availability of treated wastewater for the

LJR basin.

Finally, the water projections will result into a future water balance under each the proposed scenario,

leading to an understanding of the major bottlenecks in terms of water demands, including ecological water

demands versus water availability.

4.6 Identification of Bottlenecks

The identification of bottlenecks will be made of the LJR Basin as a whole, as well as separately for


Based on the projections of the study area, an assessment will be made of major bottlenecks.

Understanding these bottlenecks is the starting point for development of the Joint Vision for the LJR Basin.

These bottlenecks may be expressed in terms of:

Water resources and water availability problems

Land use related problems

Tourism / cultural heritage related problems

Environmental and ecological related problems

JOINT VISION DEVELOPMENT

4.7 Joint Vision Development

Initially the Vision development will be done separately for Jordan, Palestine and Israel.

Based on the identified bottlenecks, a joint vision for 2050, and possible intermediate time intervals, will be

developed in consultation with the national stakeholders. FoEME will have an important stake in this

process, as well as the previous work done on its behalf such as the report Towards a Living Jordan River:

“An Economic Analysis of Policy Options for Water Conservation in Jordan, Israel and Palestine”.

The Joint Vision for the LJR Basin will be elaborated in terms of water, environmental and ecological

objectives; cultural heritage objectives and socio-economic objectives along the above time horizon in

close co-operation with the major stakeholders and based on the above mentioned scenario projections

and bottlenecks.

4.8 Second Public Participation Workshops

The Second Public Participation Workshops will be organized separately for Jordan, Palestine and Israel.

The second Consultation meetings with stakeholders, communities, civil society, business communities

and government agencies in Jordan, Palestine and Israel will focus on the development of the above joint

vision for the LJR basin and identification of major obstacles to reach this vision.

4.9 Target and Indicators for 2050

The target and indicators will be set for the LJR Basin as a whole, with separate sections for Jordan,

Palestine and Israel.

Identification of the major bottlenecks, and the jointly developed vision for the LJR are based on the

baseline data analysis and the proposed scenario. These planning issues may relate to each of the

physical and socio-economic domains studied before, such as surface water and groundwater

management issues, water diversion issues, ecological and environmental management and enforcement

issue, socio-economic, agricultural, industrial and tourism development issues; traffic and infrastructure

management issue, as well as regional coordination and co-operation issues. Within this activity each

issue will be formulated in terms a specific planning targets (representing the preferred situation), including

a clear set of performance indicators. This last step is essential to allow the project team to translate these

planning targets into realistic interventions and strategy components.

PHASE 2 – MASTER PLANNING

4.10 Alternative Interventions

The Master Plan formulation process will include the following steps:

1. All relevant baseline information (3 countries) will be stored in the project’s database and GIS

system.

2. After the joint approval of the baseline information status, this information will be used to develop

the NGO Master Plans for Jordan and Palestine and for reviewing the existing Israeli Master

Plans in accordance with the approach described in the Inception Report

3. The Project Manager and Country coordinators will have a coordinating role in managing these

outputs, whereas the Project Manager will develop formats for the plans and instructions for all

key experts.

4. The key experts will provide their input into the Master Plans according to these formats and the

instructions of the Project Manager

5. The PM and Country coordinators will jointly perform the final editing of the master plans

6. In all cases the Project Team will cooperate closely with FoEME staff throughout this process.

The alternative interventions as part of the Master Plans will be formulated for the LJR Basin as a whole,

with separate independent sections for Jordan, Palestine and Israel.

This first step of the master planning process itself consists of identifying and elaborating alternative

interventions meeting the earlier develop Vision for the LJR, and related targets and indicators.

It is proposed to elaborate two sets of interventions:

1. No-regret Interventions: that can be implemented for the period until the two-state solution has

been materialized.

2. Rehabilitation Interventions: aiming at full ecological restoration of the LJR basin, assuming that

the Full Economic Development Scenario has become reality.

The interventions will be based on the outcome and ideas of the Second round of Public Participation

Workshops, and will aim at reaching the visionary perspectives developed under activity 7 and related

targets and indicators formulated under activity 9.

The interventions may relate to:

Traffic and Transportation Interventions

interventions for improvements and/or rehabilitation of main components and facilities of traffic and transportation system, including areas needing extension or improvements of existing network will be identified

Water Resources (groundwater / surface water) interventions

interventions that promote sustainable use of water resources and restoration of the LJR water flow targets

Land Use planning interventions that promote and improve land use and land protection, in line with the water, environmental, cultural heritage and socio-economic targets

Socio-economic interventions interventions for improvement of socio-economic conditions in line with the earlier set targets and indicators

Tourism / cultural heritage related interventions

interventions that promote development or restoration of tourism and / or cultural heritage in the study area

Environmental - ecological interventions

interventions for improvement of environmental / ecological conditions in line with the earlier set targets and indicators

DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES

4.11 Multiple Criteria Analysis

The MCA will be done separately for Jordan, Palestine and Israel.

The next step will be to put alternative interventions together into logical combinations and effective

strategies. Applying Multiple Criteria Analysis is an important tool to assess and compare alternative

interventions and creating effective and logical strategies. It is based on input from different sources as

indicated in figure 8.

The MCA activity will consist of the following steps:

Setting evaluation criteria: Setting Criteria and related weights to prepare for MCA

MCA: Comparison of alternative interventions using the set of criteria and weighting factors, in

co operation with selected stakeholders

Ranking of interventions: Ranking of alternative interventions from high to low priority, based on

the outcome of the MCA

4.12 Development Strategies

The development strategies will be formulated for the LJR Basin as a whole, with separate isections for


It is proposed to develop two different strategies:

1. No-regret Strategy: that can be implemented under the assumption and restrictions that the

current political status quo between Palestine and Israel continues. It consists of a logical

combination of the prioritized no-regret interventions

2. Full Rehabilitation Strategy: aiming at full ecological restoration of the LJR basin, assuming that

the two state solution has become a reality. It consists of a logical combination of the prioritized

full rehabilitation interventions

The Full Rehabilitation Strategy is obviously the preferred strategy under this study, and assumes that the

external conditions will be supportive towards its implementation, including a Two-State political solution

for the region. It will include the following elements:

a. water resources and allocation

b. Pollution Control

c. Land planning

d. Ecological protection

e. Agricultural development

f. Economic development

g. Social adoption and compensation

h. Tourism and archeology

Royal HaskoningDHV

i. Geo-political and security issues

j. Environmental Impacts

The strategy will include a social adoption component, with the following elements:

needs, demands, and absorptive capacity of the social groups

needs to compensate those likely to be adversely affected

current urban and rural population levels and migration trends, growth predictions, presence of

minority groups, land use and tenure, employment, gender issues, division of labor, and

productivity and family incomes,

review of water policies and their social and geopolitical implications

Potential direct and indirect social impacts of the proposed interventions, such as food, security,

health, land tenure, access to and control of water resources, employment, tourism and

ecological basic services in the project area; risks, opportunities and specific mitigating measures

with emphasis on gender issues

Assessment of capacity of communities, ministries, and NGOs to identify and mitigate gender-

related impacts

Capacity-building needs and mechanisms to ensure that women participate in and benefit from

the development and mitigation plans.

Review of social impacts of current water pricing policies, including cost recovery and equity,

subsidies, taxation and water license fees.

Review of the methodology used for water pricing, and the availability of data necessary to

establish an opportunity cost or shadow price for water.

Assessment of the effectiveness of existing policies, laws, decrees, regulations, and circulars

pertaining to the water sector that govern allocation of available water resources, water rights and

water pricing, project identification and implementation, funding mechanisms, water infrastructure

management, catchment management, environmental protection, environmental sanitation, and

public health.

Identification of the shortcomings in these instruments.

4.13 Information Management and Modeling

The WEAP model is an essential supportive tool in the development of the above strategies. It will be built

in a monthly resolution to calculate monthly water flow and salinity. For the purpose of the Master Planning

process three major runs will be done:

1. Current Accounts (Run 1)

1. Current Accounts – will represent the present situation (2012) in the LJR Basin as a whole. This

run will calculate the flows and salinity of an average year in the LJR based on data from 1996

onwards, and include the following:

a. Sea of Galilee water balance – based on the existing model

b. Baseflow – based on springs and tributaries measurements/estimations

c. Runoff – based on existing reports and calculations of rain depth, drainage area, and

rainfall-runoff factors

d. Salinity – based on measurements of springs, effluents, and stream flows.

Royal HaskoningDHV

e. Instream Evapotranspiration – will be calculated for the LJR only, based on existing

reports where available and/or evaporation from pan measurements multiplied by reach

length.

f. Domestic water demand – Official data will be used where available. Where needed,

consumption will be estimated by multiplying population with per-capita consumption.

g. Agricultural demand – will be calculated by surveying the different crops, their area, and

the water requirements per dunum of each crop.

h. Fishponds – based on the existing model

i. Wastewater treatment plant – according to available official data and reports

2. Full Co-operation Scenario (Run 2)

2. This run will present a monthly forecast until the year 2050 under the above scenario, in case no

actions would be taken to rehabilitate the river on top of already approved official plans.

Assumptions will include:

a. Climate change – rainfall and evapotranspiration

b. The already approved Jordanian, Palestinian and Israeli plans – based on the existing

model, with updates according already existing master plans by the three countries

c. Water exchange between Jordan and Israel

d. Trends in springs flows

e. Water consumption – trends in population growth, per-capita consumption, and irrigation

3. Rehabilitation Strategy (Run 3)

3. Full Rehabilitation Strategy – This run will present a monthly forecast until the year 2050 under

the above scenario, superimposed with all measures proposed under the Full Rehabilitation

Strategy. The LJR Rehabilitation Strategy will incorporate all the identified measures to restore

water and reduce salinity in the LJR to the preferred standards. This run will allow the

examination of the impacts of the various measures and will thus serve as the hydrological basis

for validation that the chosen measures meet the environmental flows targets in the LJR.

5 PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATION

5.1 Project Organization

The Consultant’s organization and project management approach will ensure full integration and

coordination of all elements of the study. The hallmark of the Consultant’s organization is that we will

manage the study components efficiently, with consideration to the sensitive geo-political issues, with an

overall goal to adopt a shared vision among Palestinian, Jordanian and Israeli stakeholders.

The Consultant proposes to lead the study activities from our offices in the West Bank (CORE Associates)

with support from our offices in Israel (DHVMED) and Amman (MIRRA Head Quarters). Having offices in

these three locations will allow our team to work in close collaboration with NGO’s, local governments and

local stakeholders in all three locations.

WEDO / FoEME will be considered as the Consultant’s Client and related management, supervision and

instruction authority for this project. The Consultant will work closely with the trilateral team of FoEME from

its three offices in Tel Aviv, Amman and Bethlehem, and with representatives from SIWI and GNF.

FoEME, SIWI and GNF, with support from the EC, will establish a Consortium Committee for the project

that will regularly meet during its implementation. The Consultant will prepare Progress Reports to facilitate

these meetings. At request of the Committee the Consultant’s Team Leader, and if required selected key

experts, will also attend these meetings.

The project will be implemented according to the rules, procedures sand reporting guidelines stipulated in

the contract established between WEDO / FoEME and the European Commission. It is noted that the

Consultant has substantial experience with EC formatted projects, such as underlined by the EC regional

Water Data Banks project performed by DHV.

We have grouped our project team into the following five professional team:

1. project management

2. physical environmental team

3. socio-economic and cultural team

4. institutional and geo-political team

5. country coordinators.

Our Project team consists of key experts with Palestinian, Jordanian and Israeli nationalities, managed by

the international Team Leader. Each key expert will be responsible for his professional domain throughout

the study. Meanwhile, the relevant input information from the three countries will be organized through our

Country Representatives. In addition, the international experts will be able to travel freely to all three

countries to ensure full integration of the three national master plans into one overall trans-boundary

master plan. We believe that this matrix approach will best secure that the study components throughout

the three countries will be performed professionally and efficiently.

The study will be performed in full cooperation with a team of planners and facilitators. At this proposal

stage, it is difficult to assess the precise input of each team member. The Consultant proposes that the

details of labor inputs will be assigned at the beginning of each work package, within the overall budget

envelope. The positions within each team are presented in the next table.

5.1.1 Project Quality Management

The Consultant will operate the project in full accordance with its accredited quality procedures. DHV is

certified according to the NEN - ISO 9001 standards. This means that project management and

implementation will follow several quality checks and procedures, in line with international norms. DHV is

registered with most of the international financing agencies.

The function of PQM is to ensure that the performance provided at all levels of the project organization is

in conformance with proper professional standards and in accordance with client’s requirements. More

specifically, the main objectives of the QA function within this study are to ensure that:

The project implementation fulfils the project requirements and is in full conformity with the

ToR;

Optimal methods and good professional judgment are used in carrying out project activities;

and,

The project fully benefits from efficient interaction between the professional experience and

qualifications of all team members, the accessible data and other sources of relevant

information, combined with the ability of the consultant to utilize these resources.

The PQM function will be carried out at both the home office level and at the study area level. It is our

approach that PQM is an integrated part of project implementation and will cover all relevant activities. An

internal Quality Management System that meets the relevant requirements of internationally-acknowledged

quality assurance standards will be employed by the joint venture. The general PQM Procedures Manual

will be made available upon request.

Based on the standard PQM procedures, a Quality Assurance plan will be elaborated and tailored to the

particular activities and outputs of this study. The main purpose of the QA plan is to describe the

procedures to be followed by the project team and the home office PQM team and to clearly define the

responsibilities of each member of the team. In order to ensure that the PQM process is non-bureaucratic,

realistic, and operational as well as meets requirements, the system will be based on the following quality

assurance tools:

Quality Assurance Plan

Activity planning matrix

Document Quality Assurance standard form

The QA plan is the overall planning monitoring tool for the QA function. The QA plan will follow the outline

of the project implementation plan describing timely completion of tasks and set of milestones. The QA

plan will contain the following elements:

A clear definition of the project, scope of work and contract conditions;

The need for external quality control;

A clear definition of the project organization, responsibilities and authority;

The project time schedule with milestones and deadlines;

A list of foreseen potential problem areas and possible solutions;

A list of technical procedures to be applied to the project;

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE (PROJECT LEADERSHIP AND CONSULTANCY)

PROJECT INITIATION AND LEADERSHIP

The projects below were adopted after their initiation by the International Peace Institute, an independent, international

think tank located across the from United Nations Headquarters. IPI provides practical policy and insight for international

and national policy makers as well as for the broad foreign affairs community, on a range of global and regional security

challenges. Among the primary consumers of its policy research and analysis are the UN and its 192 member states,

regional and sub-regional organizations, academia and civil society. Due its location, IPI has unique policy development,

convening, publishing, and outreach capabilities.

Multiple Perspectives on UNIFIL

(with Prof. Joeseph Soeters, the Netherlands Defense Academy)

The aim of the project is to assess UNIFIL effectiveness from multiple internal and external perspectives – from

intercultural interoperability to the regional and global contexts the mission operates in. Major questions include the

challenges that different participants and contributors to the mission face, the ways they are addressed by the mission

and the UN, and the lessons that can be drawn from this case for the broader enhancement of multinational and

multicultural partnerships in UN peacekeeping operations. In the framework of the project three conferences were held in

Madrid, Stockholm, and Rome. The outcomes include a book and research and policy papers.

Models of Third Party Presence in the Israeli-Palestinian Theatre

(with Brig. Gen (ret.) Shlomo Brom, INSS).

The aim of the project is the creation of alternative models of deployment that will assist in the implementation of future

Interim and Permanent Status Agreements between the two parties, as well as creating the pre-conditions and stable

environment essential for the successful negotiation over the agreements.

Enhancing Intercultural Competence for Peacekeepers

(with Simon Fraser University, Canada and Logos Inc, US)

The project aims to achieve three complementary objectives: 1) a better understanding of intercultural challenges faced

by military, police, and civilian leadership and personnel in the complex contexts of UN peace operations; 2) mapping

existing knowledge in intercultural competence and training opportunities within the UN system, in peacekeeping training

centers, and in the business and academic worlds; 3) identifying research and policy ideas to enhance intercultural

competence in peacekeeping via the training and knowledge development tailored to peacekeepers’ specific needs and

contexts. The ultimate objective of enhancing intercultural competence is to strengthen the management and

organizational capacity in UN peace operations and hence their overall effectiveness.

All three projects involve bringing together officials and experts from a diversity of disciplines, global and regional

organizations and countries in order to share and develop knowledge and policies. Leading the project includes the

management and coordination of the project content, form, and research methodology. Additional core tasks are:

Identifying content and process needs not currently met in existing organizational and state frameworks and

finding alternative solutions through the projects.

Designing, coordinating, executing and facilitating meetings and conferences.

Establishing and sustaining partnerships and interfaces with numerous relevant experts and organizations,

continuously soliciting input on the content, process and outcomes of projects via formal interviews and informal

interactions.

Coordinating and partnering with UN DPKO on content and process.

Identifying and integrating the different perspectives of projects’ participants, while allowing their unique outlooks

to be voiced and taken into consideration.

Continuously getting updated on a daily level on issues related to peacekeeping, peacebuilding, international

relations, Middle East processes and management of intercultural interfaces.

Writing periodical reports of progress.

Conducting and writing individual research related to the project.

Working collaboratively with colleagues in the International Peace Institute on the planning and execution of

projects.

Project Objectives

These Terms of Reference relate to the project “Integrated Trans-boundary Regional NGO Master Plan for

the Lower Jordan River Basin, for which the contact has been signed on 27 August 2012 between on the

one hand the Friends of the Earth Middle East (FoEME) on behalf of (1) FoEME; (2) Water and

Environment Development Organization (WEDO); (3) Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) and

(4) Global Nature Fund (GNF), and on the other hand Royal HaskoningDHV as executing consulting firm.

The study’s overall objective is to create a regional NGO master plan for the Lower Jordan River by

developing and harmonizing national master plans into a single cohesive trans-boundary master plan that

could be advanced in full or in part by the decision makers – both unilaterally at the national level and/or at

the regional level. The Master Plan shall be steered by principles of sustainable development including

environmental flows provided through its natural resources; a healthy eco-system; equitable sharing of

water resources; free public accessibility for all nationalities within an appropriate security framework; and

a healthy economic development perspective.

The direct purpose of this project is to publish the national and regional FoEME NGO Master Plans for the

Lower Jordan River, and to use the study results and publications as an advocacy tool with national

stakeholders, the EU and various actors of the international community to increase political will for the

adoption in full or in part of the study's recommendations by the national authorities in the region.

The following results are foreseen under this study:

f) Published Jordanian NGO Master Plan for the Lower Jordan River from the Yarmouk River in the


g) Published Palestinian NGO Master for the Lower Jordan River from Bezeq Stream in the north to

the Dead Sea in the south.

h) Translation, review and Gap Analysis of the existing Israeli Master Plans from the exit of the

Lower Jordan River from the Sea of Galilee to Naharyim (completed by the Kinneret Drainage

Authority) and from Naharyim to Bezek Stream (currently being prepared by the Lower Jordan

River Drainage Authority). Furthermore the Israeli NGO Master Plan for the Lower Jordan River

from the southern tip of the Sea of Galilee to Bezeq Stream will be published.

i) Integration of all three (Jordanian, Palestinian and Israeli) national NGO Master Plans for the

Lower Jordan River into a single trans-boundary regional NGO Master Plan for the Lower Jordan

River.
