Objectives

 

The overall objective of the study is to develop a comprehensive database to Bardalah watershed that will help and guide the decision makers and the strategic planners to take the right decisions about the optimal planning, development and management of the available agricultural water resources for this watershed.

 

The Specific objectives:

    • To provide full description of Bardalah watershed in terms of its hydrology, hydrogeology and land use/cover.

    • To assess the current agricultural water system in terms of available water resources, water supplies, water consumptions and identification of the components of water needs.

    • To provide an estimation of the total runoff volumes and rates in the entire Bardalah watershed including the determination of the rate and direction of runoff at several points in the watershed.

    • To investigate the technical interventions and the social management options for a more sustainable water management method of the Bardalah watershed.

    • To provide an assessment of the socio-economic situation of the residents of the Bardalah watershed.

HWE is a Palestinian not-for-profit NGO that was established in the year 2004. HWE aims to promote practical research into the current and future state of water resources and the environment in Palestine and across the region. There is a need to combine different notions of social, technical and economic sustainability in order to achieve development outcomes that both provide for national development and help to achieve poverty reduction. HWE aims to address this need through mobilizing local and international networks and partnerships to promote a broader analysis of sustainable water resource development and better ‘governance’ of the resource.

Areas of work and scope of activities

HWE is working in three areas (with regard to water and environment):
     1- Development.
     2- Research.
     3- Capacity Building and Training.

 

HWE is particularly strong in the fields of: Water Resources, Sewage and Sanitation, Conflict Resolution, Food and Agriculture, Water supply, Engineering Aspects, ...
