The conference aimed at providing an opportunity for professionals in the water sector, agriculturists, politicians, stakeholders and others to exchange their ideas, research results and concerns on the water situation in the Middle East. In addition the conference intended to enable an open dialogue about the water status in the Palestinian Territories and the utilisation of transboundary water resources in the Jordan Basin.
