Abstract:	"This paper is in three parts. The initial section considers and develops the Tragedy of the Commons metaphor, stressing its particular relevance to the Jordan Basin. The second section briefly-evaluates recent attempts by the UN to resolve certain of these problems relating to international river basins pertinent to the situation within the Jordan Basin. The third section presents a discussion of the river basin approach and the prime need to subscribe to a world systems mode1 in matters relating to this use of waters in international drainage basins."
