Most of the rivers that flow through both Israel and the Palestinian Authority controlled areas are heavily polluted.

A team of Israeli and Palestinian researchers have joined forces to create a blueprint for action to restore the quality of 15 rivers that flow through both Israeli and Palestinian areas.

Lior Asaf, scientific coordinator of the project on the Israeli side has said the project demands a great of cooperation between the Palestinian and Israeli teams and the researchers have been working extremely well together. "Certainly from the perspective of "peace making" the initiative has exceeded the participants' expectations," the annual report on the project states.

Good news stories need sharing too, this one seems to only be available via government sources... the media does not seem interested. Whether that's because it is about Israeli-Palestinain cooperation, or whether it is becuase it is about the environment... the combination is obviously not "news worthy" for the main stream media.
