Depletion of water resources
Next
Depletion of Water Resources In the West Bank, Palestinians are denied their historic right
to the Jordan River waters.
In the West Bank, Israel is currently utilizing more than 82% of the Palestinian groundwater
resources by piping this resource to the illegal colonies and into Israel proper and thus inducing water scarcity in the area.
In Gaza, Palestinians are forced to over-pump the shallow coastal aquifer leading to sea water intrusion and consequently, deteriorating water quality.

• The Western Basin is the largest and has an annual safe yield of 362 MCM. Palestinians consume only about 7.5% of its safe yield.
• The Northeastern Basin has an annual safe yield of 145 MCM. Palestinians consume about 18% of its safe yield.
• The Eastern Basin has an annual safe yield of 172 MCM. Palestinians are utilizing 50% of the waters of this basin.
