3. Introduction
• Area of historical
Palestine is
27000km2
• Area of west Bank
and Gaza strip is
6245km2
4. Rain fall : ranges from
140-700mm/y
Average = 517mm/y.
Total volume = 3 billion
m3/y.
Evaporation = 65%, about
1900 m.m3
Infiltration 25-30%,
about 800-900m.m3/y.
Surface runoff 3-5%,
about 120-150m.m3/y,
5. Water consumption
• The occupation stolen and controlled more than 85% of the Palestinian
renewable water.
• Ground water is the main available source for the Palestinian.
• Surface water from Jordan river (250 mm3/y) is controlled by Israeli
occupation.
• Available water resources for Palestinians (West Bank & Gaza Strip)
280 m.m3/y, 170m.m3/y and 110m.m3/y for west Bank and Gaza strip.
6. West bank
• Wells (domestic and agricultural) extracts about 70 m.m3/y
• Springs 40 m.m3/y.
• Purchased from the Israeli occupation (55-60m.m3/y).
• For domestic 120 m.m3/y. 65%.
• For agriculture 60 m.m3/y. 35%.
Gaza strip
• Wells 110m.m3/y. about 60 renewable
• the other is over pumpage.
9. Institutional
Ministry of Transportation (Palestinian Meteorological Department).
Monitors the meteorological elements.
Temperature, solar radiation, wind speed, relative humidity,
atmospheric pressure and rainfall.
There is no remote sensing system dealing with this issue..
10. • Crop water productivity
Ministry of Agriculture.
No institutional work upon it.
Just an old study upon it (Palestine Economic Policy Research Institute
(MAS)) for the Ministry of Agriculture 1998.
