| ABSTRACT: | According to the author in absence of measures to protect the environment in the Gaza Strip, groundwater is assumed to be polluted by sewage effluent and cesspools, solid waste and intensive agricultural use of fertilizers. After percolation of waste water and irrigation return flow, pollutants present in these waters will reach the groundwater and finally pollute the aquifer. Suggestions for pollution prevention are given, and to produce potable drinking water from polluted groundwater appropriate water treatment processes are proposed and discussed. |
