Rationale: Why is this case interesting?
'The Jordan River plays an important role for water resources in agriculture, industrial activity, renewable energy and domestic use in Jordan, one of the poorest countries regarding water issues, as well as in the other shared countries (Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and Israel). The scarcity of water resources with the demographic boom is considered a major challenge the country face. Nowadays, due to the lower water quality and the decreasing inflow water quantity, the Jordan River describes as an impaired water resource. Due to the constringent resource management, the river is threatened for the excessive water diversion, pollution and inappropriate development which frequently increase on account of the political situation.
