	New Jordan Valley law needs support of agriculture, water management legislation to succeed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		JORDAN VALLEY — The absence of a new modern agricultural law and effective marketing and water management policies will render the newly-enacted Jordan Valley Authority (JVA) Development Law insufficient to achieve a drastic agricultural and economic change in the strategic valley, farmers and experts in the sector are arguing.
		Farmers in the valley told The Jordan Times that the losses they are confronted with every year are due to a lack of high quality water in sufficient volume, the absence of marketing effectiveness and the need for clear guidance and agricultural policies.
		A key point in the new law is that the ownership in the lush valley was restricted to a maximum of 250 dunums for any Jordanian individual, a number which farmers said would encourage feudalism and the monopoly of lands in the valley by some influential people.

	Clearing The Jordan Valley Of Palestinians By Amira Hass
		Someone who apparently had an especially sarcastic sense of humor decided to officially name the Jordan Valley Road, Route 90, the "Gandhi Road." The reference is not to Mahatma Gandhi, but to Rehavam Ze'evi, who advocated "transfer"--the expulsion of the Palestinians from their land.
		For not only on this road, but throughout the enormous and beautiful expanse of the Jordan Valley and the eastern slopes of the hills, there is an oppressive sense of absence, loss, and emptiness.
		And in October, people were given another reason to become fed up with life in the valley: Palestinian farmers were prevented from selling their produce to Israeli farmers at the nearest border crossing between the valley and Israel.

		Jordan's boundaries with Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia do not have the special significance that the border with Israel does; these borders have not always hampered tribal nomads in their movements, yet for a few groups borders did separate them from traditional grazing areas and water sources.
