الملخص الإنجليزي

Palestine suffers not only from the shortage of water but also from the poor quality of available resources.

More than 95% of groundwater wells, main potable source in Gaza Strip, are reported unfit neither for human consumption nor for agricultural irrigation.

Lack of financial resources and the prevailing political environment are among the main reasons behind poor water quality management in Palestine.

The institutional building and good governance are crucial for the development and sustainable management of wastewater infrastructures, supported by governmental reform program for the water and sanitation sectors.

The reform program in 2014, resulted in a new Water Law (WL), aimed at ensuring good governance within the water and sanitation sectors.

The new WL divided the historical functions of the Palestinian Water Authority (PWA) into ministerial and regulatory functions.

The PWA functions as a regulatory body for protection and monitoring of water resources, while monitoring of water and sanitation services is the mandate of the Water Sector Regulatory Council, a newly established governmental institution.

The goal of this study focuses on challenges and perspective of water quality management with special emphasis on water law and regulations pertinent to wastewater treatment facilities and reclaimed water use in agriculture.

Specific objectives are two folds; first to critically review and analyze the current valid water legislation and quality standards required; second to examine the current practices on water quality monitoring of reclaimed water use in agricultural purposes.
