Kidron valley wastewater to the Dead Sea

Israeli engineers offer solutions to manage the wastewater coming downstream from eastern Jerusalem and Palestinian territories, which is spreading pollution through the Kidron valley and into the Dead Sea. Certain solutions require an agreement with Palestinian authorities: create a treatment plant in Palestinian territory, or use existing pipelines in that area to send wastewater to an existing treatment plant. However an alternative, albeit expensive, method exists to circumvent the territory. Even if Israeli and Palestinian engineers work together in the field, reaching an agreement remains a challenge.
