| ABSTRACT: | The paper discusses key issues in the development of the water resources of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. First, there is the uniqueness of a situation where the major proportion of the transboundary flows between the OPT and Israel is groundwater, which infiltrates in the West Bank and flows to Israel. Second, perspectives and time frames for problem resolution are an issue in the OPT, due in part to the uncertainties inherent in the peace process. Third, there is a general lack of information and statistics and much of the limited information available is conflicting. |
