The Jordan Valley is situated over the Eastern Water Basin. However, Palestinians in the area suffer from the lack of access to water due to Israeli restrictions and copious usage. They are only permitted to use 40% of the water in this basin. Since its occupation in 1967, Israel has monopolized, destroyed and exhausted the area’s water resources. The biggest Israeli farms are situated here, producing a large part of agricultural output for export. To grant settlement expansion and infrastructure development for Israeli settlers in the Jordan Valley, Israel continues to confiscate land, demolish homes and prevent rehabilitation of existing houses and roads of the Palestinian population living here.
