On Linux operation systems make the file start.sh executable and select it. The file user_manual.pdf is the instruction manual for using the atlas.; The GLOWA Jordan River (GLOWA JR) Atlas is an end-user geographical information system (GIS). It presents the spatial results of the GLOWA JR project and helps to visualize, organize, and analyze them. The geographical scope of the atlas is Israel, Jordan and Palestine. It includes maps about climate change and its impact on water and land resources, including ecosystems, as well as information about the impact of global change on ecosystem services, land use and agriculture. Moreover it includes maps about the potential of rainwater harvesting, managed aquifer recharge and irrigation with treated wastewater.

It describes the situation as it was in 2010 with regard to water management and raises the question, “What changes may be needed if the problems posed by increase in temperature and decrease in precipitation are to be dealt with effectively?” The paper is based in part upon interviews with prominent experts from Israel, Jordan and Palestine. It presents the water management of the three national entities describing the relevant legal and administrative frameworks under which water is managed and comments on the situation with regard to day-to-day management. At the time of the underlying research all three national entities were in the process of reviewing the legal and administrative frameworks under which water is managed in the Jordan Basin. However there is little evidence that, in any of the thinking of the respective parties, attention is being given to the Basin as a whole or how to improve the existing structures for regional cooperation.

The effects of decreased rainfall (average of 32 mm) for the predicted period were found to be insignificant on wheat yield, whereas the decrease in the stress index (SI) and consequently, the decrease in wheat yields, were found to be significant. Evaporation reduction measures such as screening mesh or mulching on wheat yield is pronounced only during dry years. The effect of mulching on increased drainage water is considerable, but its use is restricted to a limited area size.

It is a natural hazard having environmental-, social and economical impacts. An index can be used to define the onset of drought and to simplify the wide range of impacts. By applying such an index, the severity of a current drought event can be quantified and compared to past conditions. In combination with climate projections, future droughts can furthermore be addressed. A drought index also facilitates the communication between scientist, decision makers and the public. In the present study, a drought index was applied and the duration as well as the frequency of droughts during a future time period (2031-2060) was compared to a current reference period (1961-1990). To furthermore address the impact of droughts on the agricultural sector, the Irrigation Water Demand (IWD) during drought was simulated with the hydrological model TRAIN. Results show that future droughts are projected to become longer and more severe and that the irrigation water demand is expected to rise under future drought conditions.
