Proposes a framework for the sustainable management of scarce water resources. This book focuses on the West Bank in Palestine, which suffers from extreme water scarcity, that has (for political reasons) less water than is naturally available, and anticipates an increase in demand for water for reasons of population and economic growth.
The growing demands of growing populations are causing increased water scarcity all over the world. Countries with limited water resources are urgently in need of a new approach toward water management by shifting from the use and dispose approach to the use, treat, and reuse approach. The book proposes a framework for the sustainable management of scarce water resources. The approach is based on the application of Cleaner Production thinking to water management and is particularly focusing on the West Bank, Palestine.
