| ABSTRACT: | This study analyses the estimated demand for water in the occupied Palestinian territories between 1992-2005 based on a number of assumptions and variables. Per capita consumption is expected to rise as well as population due to birth rate, conditions in the Gulf states, and a peaceful settlement. Industry and agriculture will also require a greater annual allotment, particularly if the occupied territories are to develop and experience economic growth. Moreover, irrigated agriculture is expected to utilize more dunums than at present. Lastly, greater efficiency in water consumption as well as water distribution and conveyance will allow Palestinians to better conserve water. |
