Palestine's grand plan for irrigation and reforestation beguiles hope
A long article outlines a British‑administered scheme to reclaim Palestine through irrigation of the Jordan valley and the Sea of Galilee, coupled with vast reforestation. It envisions dams, canals, wells, and planting hundreds of thousands of trees to restore forests, reduce erosion, and revive a land once called a garden by prophets. The piece cites biblical promises, wartime destruction, and current trials, noting efforts to select trees suited to the climate and expand water infrastructure across the region.
