The relationship between rainfall, groundwater and springs and the population consumption in West Bank and Gaza Strip between 1980- 2010

Abstract

This research studies the relationship between rainfall , ground water

and springs and the population consumption in the West Bank and Gaza

Strip between 1980- 2010.It depends on the last data of rainfall, groundwater

springs and population obtained from several authorized Palestinian

Authority Centers.The study consists of three subjects.The first part studies

the objectives and methodology of the research and the second part tackles

and analyzes the amounts of rainfall, pumped water from wells, and amounts

of outflow water from springs in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.The third

part tackles moving averages of the rains and the relationship between the

increasing population and pumped water from wells and springs.Finally it,

summarizes the results and suggestions.One of the important results shows

that there is very big relationship between the amounts of rainfall and the

amounts of groundwater in West Bank and that was obviously shown by the

population and pumped water from wells in West Bank and Gaza Strip.The

study concludes with the most important solutions and suggestions to limit

and reduce this problem.
