  • Development of Water Supply and Demand in Palestine
  • Published at:Critical Transitions in Water and Environmental Resources Management
  • Palestine is among the countries with the scarcest renewable water resources due to both natural and artificial constraints, amounting to only 100 cubic meters per capita per annum. This amount is far below the available water in other countries in the Middle East and the World. At present, the water demand exceeds the available water supply. The available supply is constrained mainly due to artificial non-economic factors. The gap between the water supply and water demand is growing due to the population growth, improving standard of living standard, and the need to expand irrigated agriculture and industrialization. This paper will give an estimate of the projected Palestinian water demand in light of the proposed national targets and will assess all potential water sources both conventional and non-conventional.
