Reuse Treated Wastewater Nablus
In water-scarce regions, one response to climate change and changing rainfall patterns must be more efficient water use or the use of alternative water sources. GFA has been implementing the KfW-funded wastewater reuse project in Nablus, Occupied Palestinian Territories, since 2019. In accordance with national and international standards, wastewater from the city of Nablus was treated in a modern wastewater treatment plant so that it could be used for agricultural irrigation. The project encourage farmers to engage in more intensive irrigated agriculture and to grow high-value crops that generate higher incomes than traditional products such as olive trees. Water-efficient and water-saving irrigation techniques, such as drip and subsurface irrigation, are introduced to reduce evaporation and water losses by 2022. By using recycled water, farmers become less vulnerable to the effects of climate change and are able to better plan their production and income.
