Question

According to the map above, which countries are likely to be dependent upon the Jordan River for their water resources? How might this lead to conflict?

Answer 1

I would say Lebanon and Israel. the conflict would be that the lebanon is most likely to get less water because the Jordan River doesn't enter Lebanon. and since majority of the water is going to Israel, that will cause Lebanon to get angry with Israel and most likely to start a huge conflict between the two.

Answer 2

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

According to the map, the countries that are likely to be dependent upon the Jordan River for their water resources are Lebanon, Israel, Syria, the West Bank, and Jordan. That is why there are water politics in the Jordan River basin to regulate competing claims and water usage. There are many issues between these countries due to that water is scarce in the region.
