Facts. Statistics. Elemental truths about water, population growth, power and conflict. If one tries to collect even a measure of what has been said about these themes and their relationships to current crises and the future, the information accumulates steadily in the mind towards a screaming crescendo. As this cannot be easily sustained, it is temporarily let to fall quiet. As Sisyphus after a heavy step, we barely breathe and return to take up the burden, once again. Water has been always central to the life in the Levant1 . For its peoples, the elemental truth about water—its scarcity, and its life-giving essence—have been the shaping force for all societies that have taken root there.
