WATER PIPELINES
IN THE WESTBANK
A reliable, suitable and dependable source of water made available through securing
additional quantities of water for the targeted areas increasing their average
consumption of water to reach 80 l/c.d. The expected impact from this project is as follows:
- Improving the pressure within the main pipeline and network as the new
pipeline is installed.
- Increase the per capita available and therefore domestic consumption of drinking
water, where at the moment the consumption rate is about 40 l/c/d, is to
increase to about 80 l/c.d.
- Enhancing the income of some households by saving the money paid for
purchasing water from mobile water tank at cost of 30 NIS/ m3.
- Enhancing the hygienic practices and safeguarding the quality of water and
reducing the risk of public health and water borne diseases as a result of
drinking polluted water.
