Friends of the Earth Middle East (FoEME) would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our friends and supporters a Happy New Year and Ramadan Kareem!

During the month of September the public debate over the proposed Red Dead Conduit continued with dozens of grassroots representatives, civil society leaders, community residents and academics raising their concerns with World Bank officials and the Israeli Parliament’s Internal Affairs and Environmental Committee in a unified effort to ensure that the World Bank include other alternatives to Save the Dead Sea – particularly the restoration of water flow down the Lower Jordan River.  Thank you to all of our readers who responded to our call to action and submitted their concerns to the World Bank!

FoEME's Good Water Neighbor's Project is currently in the process of finalizing 'Neighbor's Paths' in each of its 17 communities.  The paths aim to raise public awareness about environment concerns, as well as to mobilize community-wide support for cross-border cooperation. 

The Neighbor's Path project will culminate in the publication of a bi-lingual brochure from each of the paired communities describing the area's shared environment as illustrated in the Neighbor's Path.  The brochures will be presented to the public at the Good Water Neighbor's Regional Conference in Jerusalem on November 28-29, 2007.  The November conference will bring together Mayors, municipal representatives and community members from each of the GWN communities, as well as government and donor agency officials.

As a tri-lateral organization committed to both protecting our shared environmental heritage and advancing conditions for a lasting peace in our region, FoEME is a proud affiliate of the OneVoice Campaign.  OneVoice aims to amplify the voice of the overwhelming majority of moderates who seek peace and prosperity.  To that aim they have succeeded in gathering approximately 550,000 supporters to date.  On October 18th OneVoice will host parallel summits in Tel Aviv and Jericho and other satellite-linked locations worldwide.  For more information on the events or to endorse the OneVoice Campaign, please visit OneVoice.

We are pleased to announce the inclusion of the FoEME paper 'A Seeping Time Bomb' in the newly released book Water Resources in the Middle East: Israel-Palestinian Water Issues - From Conflict to Cooperation, a collection of scholarly articles by leading Palestinian, Israeli and international water experts which document the importance of fostering understanding, respect and amity among neighboring peoples, particularly during periods of tension.  

FoEME's Pro-Aquifer project, organized in cooperation with the Palestinian House of Water and Environment, aims to alleviate ground water pollution by providing educational and technical training support to local authorities engaged in preventing ground water pollution in hydro-sensitive areas.  This month the project finalized the curriculum and courses offered to municipal staff from neighboring Israeli and Palestinian communities.  The courses aim to enhance municipality level sewage treatment technical capabilities and to create a cross- border pool of municipal workers dedicated to ensuring the safety of the region's ground water resources.
