water and land rights- Israel and Palestine

I've been doing some surface reading of the issues regarding water rights in the Middle East and more particularly in Israel and Palestine. This article from Aljazeera brings up some interesting and important points regarding water restriction and use as an arm, within the context of the disputed Negev region in the south if Israel and the Bedouin populations that live there. I'll try to post more on water rights soon as they are an important dimension of this conflict.
