Palestine: Water supply report for the Year 2010/2011 published

This report is one of the reports presented recently by PWA to highlight its activities within the water sector, and to illustrate the water resources supply and demand gaps in the Occupied Palestinian Territory aiming to provide the interested usersreaders a factual scene of the status of water development practices and the actual supplied quantities to the Palestinian communities in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

This report includes a different set of indicators showing the acute water crisis in the availability of water for Palestinian communities due to the domination and control over water resources by the Israeli occupation authorities and the imposed mechanisms that lead to a halt in the development process of the water infrastructure needed for a fair distribution across the fragmented territories.

This report is also considered as a reference document to abstract figures and facts on the status of Palestinian water supply and demand and it shows the difference in water consumption rates within Palestinian governorates.
