| ABSTRACT: | The pumpage from the aquifer in the Gaza strip was estimated on the basis of both data from volumetric recorders installed in 80 wells, and interviews with well owners. Revised estimates of parameters and components of the annual groundwater balance in the Gaza strip in the period 1968 - 1974 were made on the basis of annual rainfall data, available hydrogeological information, soil types, pump tests, water levels, chloride content, pumpage and hydrologic analogy with other regions. An estimate of the permissible mean annual volume of pumpage from the strip under a prescribed depth of sea water intrusion was also derived. As a result, the discrepancy between the planned and actual levels of water levels, salinity and pumpage in the different parts of the Gaza strip could be evaluated along with their trend. The report is concluded with recommended actions with respect to the control of pumpage, water saving, improvement of observation networks, hydrogeological investigations and ways for solving the water shortage problem in the Gaza strip. |
