English Abstract
The reuse of the treated wastewater for the agricultural purposes in the Gaza Strip has become an attractive option for addressing water scarcity in order to conserve and expand available water supplies which can contribute toward a more integrated management of Gaza Strip water resources.
Design a proper tariff system for treated wastewater services is an important component of the successful and sustainable implementation of the wastewater reuse in order to achieve effective treated wastewater service delivery to the users and to pay for operations, maintenance and the system management.
In this study, the proposed of wastewater reuse tariff is based on the evaluation of the cost recovery of reclaimed wastewater and also on the farmers willingness to pay for using of the reclaimed wastewater.
The cost recovery is calculated for five options using the present value method for the proposed reuse scheme that will be implemented as a part of North Gaza Emergency Sewage Treatment (NGEST) project.
A social survey was carried out using a total of 30 questionnaire developed specifically for the purpose of evaluating the socio-economic impact of using the treated wastewater for agricultural purposes through pilot project in El Zitoon area in the Gaza city.
The researcher recommended beginning the reuse of reclaimed tariff at low price 0.40 NIS where the farmers need to realize the value they can benefit from and to encourage the farmers acceptance to switch from using fresh water to reclaimed wastewater.
In parallel a governmental subside is necessary at the early stage of reusing the reclaimed wastewater in irrigation and prices will be adjusted gradually to increase the tariff with removing the governmental subsides gradually.
