24 Kardala Background The village of Kardala was established during the Ottoman period, in an area chosen for its vast water resources, fertile land, and optimal climate. Initially, an Ottoman military base housed many soldiers in Kardala. Later the area became more civilianized and by the beginning of the Jordanian occupation, was a fully residential village. Around this time, residents began to cultivate the village’s land extensively. Today, residents continue to base their livelihoods in agriculture and herding.
Main problems facing the community Area C restrictions in Kardala have compelled more than 15 families to emigrate out of the village to other areas of the West Bank over the past 20 years. The infrastructure of the village is better than in other Jordan Valley villages; a sewage system is in place, however, there is no processing or removal system. Raw sewage collects on the outskirts of the village or in agricultural fields. Local residents buy piped water from the Israeli water company, Mekorot, and are subject to strict water consumption quotas, which are significantly lower than those of surrounding Israeli settlements.
