Introduction
While direct manifestations of water conflict are well documented, water disputes can also have broader political and geographic implications. For example, during 30 years of Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip, the quality of surface and groundwater supplies steadily deteriorated and water-related disease rose. In 1987, the intifada, or Palestinian uprising, broke out in the Gaza Strip and quickly spread to the West Bank. While it would be simplistic to claim direct causality, water was undoubtedly an irritant exacerbating an already tenuous situation.
