A Thesis Submitted in Partial fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Master in Science in Civil / Water Resources Engineering. June, 2013– Shaban, 1434. Abstract The main objective of water resources management is to secure adequate quantity of good quality water in equitable manner. This could be achieved through a proper institutional management and participation of all stakeholders. The water management process in Palestine started since 1995-1996 by establishing Palestine Water authority (PWA) as water sector regulator and still ongoing up to date. In this study, various regional and international institutional configurations were reviewed and how those entities managed the sector. The state of problem in this thesis divided into two main parts the legal part and the institutional framework of the sector. Adaptive methodology was used through reviewing and comparing the four main laws (Water Law, Environmental Law, Agricultural Law and Public Health Law) together, and the institutional framework was restructured based on duties of each competent agency stated in laws, the principles of the Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and the concepts of the Management and Transnet Framework (MTF).

  • Gaza's Water and Sanitation Crisis: the Implications for Public Health
    Gaza’s Water and Sanitation Crisis: The Implications for Public Health Shira Efron, ordan R. Fischbach, and Giulia Giordano In July 2017, a five-year-old boy died in the Gaza Strip after swimming in seawater polluted with sewage. Dozens of others have reportedly been treated after swimming in Gaza’s seawater over the summer months of July and August.1 Receiving international media coverage, this story has put the spotlight on a problem long in the making: Gaza’s chronic water and sanitation problems pose immediate serious risks to public health. Gaza’s water issue is twofold: a shortage of potable water combined with a lack of wastewater sanitation. The first part of this problem is the lack of access to plentiful safe water for drinking, cooking, and bathing, which puts Gaza’s population in peril. In addition, over 108,000 cubic meters of untreated sewage flow daily from Gaza into the Mediterranean Sea,2 creating extreme health security risks in Gaza as well neighboring Israel and Egypt. While these problems are not new, rapidly deteriorating infrastructure, strict limitations on the import of construction materials and water pumps, and a diminished, declining, and unreliable energy supply have in recent years expedited the water crisis and exacerbated the water-related health risks. This article examines the implications of Gaza’s water crisis for public health. The Strip’s water problems are inseparable from its energy woes; this linkage is addressed in greater detail elsewhere in this collection. The article first reviews the general factors that have worsened Gaza’s water crisis recently; this is followed by an overview of the current domestic water supply and state of water sanitation in Gaza.
