What will hap- pen to Israel's water supply if the Golan, and specifically the Ba- nias River (one of the three sources of the Jordan), pass out of Israeli control? Control of the Banias is a ques- tion going back to 1923, when Britain and France were negoti- ating the boundary between their respective mandates of Palestine and Lebanon-Syria. The British wanted the Banias to be includ- ed in Palestine, explains Yossi Lev-Ari of the Beit Usishkin Mu- seum in Kibbutz Dan. The British officer in charge of the talks, Lt. Col. S.F. Newcombe, demanded that all three of the Jordan's sources (the Dan, the Banias, and the Hatzbani) be un- der British control. The problem was that the main road connect- ing two areas under French con- trol ran between the Banias and the Jordan, and it had been agreed that the international bor- der would not cut any transport routes. Lieutenant Newcombe asked London to build a new stretch of road, but the govern- ment balked at allocating 5,000 porinds sterling for the project. The result was that the source of the Banias, as well as the Hatzbani, remained just beyond the frontier of Mandatory Pales- tine, and of pre-1967 Israel. Today, both of these tributaries are in Israeli-controlled territo- ry. But the fear is that if Israel withdraws from these areas, it will cut off its annual water sup- ply of 1.8-1.9 billion cubic meters at a time when water resources are stretched almost to the limit. According to Dr. Amikam Nachmani of Bar-Ilan Universi- ty, Israelis consume an annual average of 400 to 500 cubic me- ters of water per person. Admit- tedly, this is only a fifth of the consumption rate in the United States and a fourth of that in Eu- rope, but it's five to six times more than average in the surrounding Arab states and two to three times more than in the West Bank and Gaza. At the same time, the Middle East population is growing. Syria has burgeoned from 4.5 million in the 1960s to 13 million. With the influx of Palestinian refugees from the Gulf states, the population of Jor- dan has swelled in the last five years. As part of the Israel-Jor- dan peace treaty, and despite the arrival of 500,000 immigrants from the former Soviet Union, Is- rael has agreed to transfer to Jor- dan 50 million cubic meters of water from the Sea of Galilee (about 2.5 percent of its stock). Between the surrounding states and the Palestinians, Is- rael's negotiating partners are de- manding some two-thirds of its total water supply. Of course, de- manding is one thing and getting is another. Still, as one water ex- pert connected with the negoti- ations points out, even small changes can have a radical effect on Israel's overall supply because of the ecological balance of its chief reservoir, the Sea of Galilee. This lake, which supplies some 40 percent of Israel's drinkable water, receives 70 to 80 percent of its water from the Jordan and other Golan streams flowing di- rectly into its basin. The Sea of Galilee is affected by everything from the amount of water drawn for the National Water Carrier (Israel's main wa- ter supply) and allowed to flow south into the Lower Jordan to the polluting influence of tourism around the lake and economic ac- tivity on the Golan. The expert explains, "If the Heights were in Syrian hands, they would have the power to contaminate [whether by accident or design] Israel's chief water reservoir." Industrial and agricultural pol- lution are not the only concerns. The lower the water level, the saltier the water. "Israel may be able to forfeit 10 percent of its water supply and make up the shortfall through such alternative means as de- salinization [removal of salt] or the import of water," the expert continues. "But if those 200 mil- lion cubic meters are lost to the Sea of Galilee itself, the resulting level of salinity will make its wa- ter undrinkable, and then 40 per- cent of Israeli potable water will go." A disaster of that sort would leave Israel drawing all its drink- ing water from the country's un- derground water sources. But the more that water is drawn from these sources, the saltier they will become. Kibbutznik Lev-Ari shares that sense of uneasiness over the magnitude of the problem vs. its rank in the scale of priorities. `We've lived in the shadow of Syrian guns before and we can do so again," he says of the security issue from the vantage of Kibbutz Dan. "But it's the water question that has me concerned. That's a strategic issue.
