Gaza Strip, a very small area of land with
367 km2, is situated in the southern part of the coastal plain. The coastal
aquifer of the Gaza Strip is part of a regional groundwater system that
stretches from the coastal areas of the Sinai (Egypt) in the south to Haifa
(Israel) in the north. It is generally 10-15 km wide,
and its thickness ranges from 0 m in the east to about 200 m at the coastline.
Water is the most precious and
valuable natural resource in theGaza Strip particularly because it is the sole source of fresh water. Gaza
Strip is in critical situation that requires immediate efforts to improve the
water situation in terms of quality and quantity.
