| ABSTRACT: | According to the author: groundwater abstractions in the Gaza Strip and the Azraq basin exceed the safe aquifer yield. To ensure a sustainability of the aquifer system the pumping has to be increased through artificial recharge. On the demand side water savings could be realized by more efficient use of water. In agriculture, traditionally one of the major water demand sectors, the water consumption could be reduced through changes to crops which require less water or through more efficient irrigation methods. |
