background of water colonisation, rather than the spurious
logic of a pseudo-hydrology, that Israel's water policies and
military restrictions on the drilling of new wells and the
deepening of existing wells have to be viewed. If the
Palestinian peasant farming population had exclusive control
over its own water resources then, in the short term, water
shortage would not be a major problem although good water
management and economy for future agricultural and industrial
expansion would constitute an important challenge.
II. WATER SOURCES AND RESOURCES IN THE NORTH JORDAN VALLEY
At the present time peasant farmers in the valley most
commonly (41% of all peasant farms) (see Table 1) obtain
their agricultural water supplies from bore wells, which are
predominantly controlled by regional landlords (see Table 2).
These bore wells pump ground-water from aquifers to. the
surface by means of diesel pumps, most of which are now
fairly primitive in design and economically inefficient. All
of the pumps are fitted with meters and the quantity of water
which is allowed to be discharged is tightly controlled by
the Israeli authorities. Another 28% of peasant farmers get
their water supply from a grid system operated either by the
Israeli water company or through village-level distribution
networks. A further 21% get their agricultural water supply
