On November 28-29, 2007 FoEME's Good Water Neighbors Project will host a Regional Conference in Jerusalem bringing together Mayors, municipal representatives and community members from each of the GWN communities, as well as government and donor agency officials.   At the conference, FoEME representatives will present a 'Neighbor's Path' from each of the project's seventeen communities.  The paths aim to promote rural and eco-tourism as a means to diversify incomes for these communities, as well as raise public awareness about their shared environment and water concerns. Over the next two years the project will undertake thirty tours in each community for both local residents and tourists. Throughout the month of October, in preparation for the upcoming conference, GWN staff and community residents conducted numerous public meetings and tours to finalize the Neighbor's Paths in their communities.

FoEME's Pro-Aquifer project, which aims to alleviate groundwater pollution, will begin a series of courses this month for Israeli and Palestinian municipal employees.  The courses, which run through January, aim to enhance municipal level technical capabilities in sewage treatment technologies and management techniques.  The courses will also help create a cross-border pool of municipal workers dedicated to ensuring the safety of the region's ground water resources. 

The Pro-Aquifer project operates in cooperation with the Palestinian House of Water and Environment.   To learn more about the Pro-Aquifer project please click here.  The Pro-Aquifer project is jointly sponsored by the European Union's LIFE program and Green Cross France.

Debate over the proposed Red Dead Conduit continued this month with the establishment of a Dead Sea Caucus in the Knesset's (Israeli Parliament) Internal Affairs and Environment Committee.  In the coming week FoEME will present its position at the caucus' first public meeting, calling for a unified effort to ensure that the World Bank and the governments of Israel, Jordan and Palestinian Authority consider other alternatives to Save the Dead Sea – particularly the restoration of water flow down the Lower Jordan River.  FoEME will also participate in a tour of the Dead Sea region with the caucus members.
