| description |
The West Bank and Gaza suffer from
severe environmental degradation, including deterioration of
groundwater and uncontrolled dumping of solid waste. These
problems have been addressed in Gaza with the assistance of
bilateral donors, but until the design of the Solid Waste
and Environment Management Project (SWEMP) in 2000, they
were largely neglected in the West Bank. Solid waste
management practices in the West Bank are characterized by
infrequent and inadequate waste collection services,
improper disposal at open dump sites, and open air burning.
Hospital and household waste are mixed together at sites
that are only marginally controlled. Litter and waste are
dumped in open lots, on the roadside, and in small village
dumps. Odors from these sites discourage tourism, thus
depriving residents of a possible source of income.
Moreover, runoff and leachate threaten to pollute
groundwater aquifers, the West Bank's main source of
water supply. These environmental and public health problems
are compounded by weak infrastructure and lack of
institutional capacity. |
