Water scarcity is becoming increasingly familiar to us. Although access to water resources is an issue of global concern, arid climates are where necessity begets inventions that may serve as examples for action or prevention across a multitude of climate zones and geographies. In facing the prevalence of water scarcity across the globe, due to a mix of climatological and man-made factors, the question we must ask ourselves today is Water for What? Which approaches can landscape, urban and architectural designers take in order to apply their specific professional skills and means? What potential do available technologies and materials offer, and what methods and tools can be derived from social engagement? Based on five years of research, the preparation of and feedback on a traveling exhibition, as well as a major conference, the results of the Out of Water project are laid out here in a series of case studies and essays by international experts, including analytical drawings of both projected and implemented solutions. Zunehmend sind wir damit konfrontiert, dass Wasser ein sehr knappes Gut ist, insbesondere in Gebieten mit trockenem Klima. Der Mangel an Wasser verlangt nach präventiven oder kompensatorischen Lösungen, die Vorbildcharakter haben können. Wasser wofür? Dies muss die Leitfrage sein, um auf die Folgen von Klimawandel und menschlicher Intervention zu reagieren.Mit welchen Strategien können die besonderen Kompetenzen von Landschaftsarchitektur, Urbanismus und Architektur für diese komplexen Probleme aktiviert werden? Welche Technologien und Materialien stehen zur Verfügung? Welche Methoden und Werkzeuge können eingesetzt werden? Welche Rolle kann soziales Engagement spielen? In der Folge mehrjähriger Forschungen, einer wandernden Ausstellung und einer internationalen Konferenz werden die Probleme und vielseitigen Lösungen hier von Experten aus den relevanten Disziplinen dargestellt. Die Dokumentation der Entwurfslösungen und die Visualisierungen der Analysen erfolgen mit eigens für dieses Buch angefertigten Zeichnungen.

Israel and Palestine are, by international criteria, water scarce. As the peace process continues amidst ongoing violence, water remains a political and environmental issue. Thirty leading Palestinian and Israeli activists, water scientists, politicians, and others met and worked together to develop a future vision for the sustainable shared management of water resources that is presented in Water Wisdom. Their essays explore the full range of scientific, political, social, and economic issues related to water use in the region; acknowledge areas of continuing controversy, from access rights to the Mountain Aquifer to utilization of waters from the Jordan River; and identify areas of agreement, disagreement, and options for resolution. Water Wisdom is model for those who believe that water conflict can be an opportunity for cooperation rather than violence.
