Water wars
Fishermen haul in their nets on the Sea of Galilee. Things
seem to have changed little from biblical times, but they
have.
These waters are a source of great tension between countries,
not because they are holy, but because they are scarce.
Yitzhak Gal from the Lake Authority showed me how the
waters have fallen to a critically low level.
“Five years ago, the water reached this line,” he explains.
“Today you can see the lake is lower and the shoreline is in
the distance.” In the summer water levels went below the
danger line where it is believed that salt waters may begin
to cause damage to this lake, its supplies and its ecology. Meanwhile, demand for water
grows.
As Meir Ben Meir, Israel’s Water Commissioner prepared for retirement, he painted a gloomy
picture of possible conflict over water between Israel, the Palestinians, Jordan and Syria.
“At the moment, I project the scarcity of water within 5 years,” he says.
“I can promise that if there is not sufficient water in our region, if there is scarcity of water, if
people remain thirsty for water, then we shall doubtless face war.”
The Jordan Valley is not unique. In other ancient water systems - the Nile, the Tigris and the
Euphrates - there is also a danger of conflict over water.
Palestinians gathering water from a spring in their village use a quarter as much water as
their Israeli neighbours.

Nabil Sha’ath, the Palestinian Authority’s Minister of Planning and International Cooperation,
says that the Israelis have to rethink their agricultural practices.
“They’ve got to change their crops, cut down on citrus, cut down on rice,” explains Mr
Sha’ath.
“You grow rice and cotton in the desert. They are the most water-consuming crops of all.”
“If they do that, then really we have a chance to save a lot in the consumption of water.”
Palestinian leaders believe that to ensure peace Israel must release land and water and
change the way it uses supplies.
Israel shows no signs of returning land with access to rivers or underground supplies.
Observers say that by 2025, 48 countries will be severely short of water and half the people
on earth will not have access to clean supplies.

Où j'en suis dans mon devoir

J'ai déjà fait les 5 premières questions mais j'ai un peu de difficulté pour comprendre la question 6, je pense que je la traduis mal : Voici ce que j'ai compris:
When is the most dangerous time for water in that part of the world? What is dangerous? traduction: Quel est le moment le plus dangereux pour l'eau dans cette partie du monde? Qu'est ce qui est dangereux.

Pourriez-vous m'aider, s'il vous plaît?

merci.

grows.
The most dangerous time for water in that part of the world is summer because of the drought. In summer there is water shortage.
