        Background: Water in the Gaza Strip
    Increasing  water scarcity (100 l freshwater/day per capita)
    Overuse of freshwater resources threatens water quality
    Water crisis in Gaza strip calls for using alternatives water resources 
   Agriculture is the major consumer of water and 
   simultaneously an essential economic sector
    Recycled water (= treated wastewater, TWW) is the most 
    prominent amongst alternative water resources 
    significant potential to disalinate water for domestic use  
          Stakeholder mapping 
   who is making the decison on water resources 
   Government 
   Local authority 
   Donors 
   Private sector 
   Israeli occupation 
   Community at regional level 
   Community household level ( man and woman ) 
       Socioeconomic and sociocultural determinants 
     Social groups make their decison based on their benfeits at micro scale. Decision can be 
       significantly different (e.g. Gender) 
      Local and National authority usually thinks at Macro scale
      Conflict between the two levels should be considered when designing national policies and 
      strategies  
       Who owns the water??
        Socioeconomic and sociocultural determinants 
      Socio cultural and socioeconomic settings affect decisions and implementation of national policies and 
      programs.   
      Water is vital resource for various sectors and its econmic value for each 
      sector creates dilemma on social costs and revenues  
       Who should pay for water resources managment. Serious 
       question?
