Developing GIS-based water poverty and rainwater harvesting suitability maps for domestic use in the Dead Sea region (West Bank, Palestine)

Abstract: Abstract. In the arid region of the Dead Sea, water shortage and the inability to satisfy the increasing domestic water demand threatens sustainable development. In such situations, domestic rainwater harvesting is considered an efficient way to combat water poverty. This paper aims to develop domestic water poverty (DWP) and domestic rainwater harvesting suitability (DRWHS) maps for the West Bank, Palestine. The analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and the GIS-based weighted overlay summation process (WOSP) wer… Show more

“…The maximum (1022 m above MSL) and minimum (410 m below MSL) ground surface elevation are located in Hebron and Jericho, respectively [63]. The land-use map shows three main classes: rough grazing, agricultural areas, and built-up areas (urban and rural), which occupy 63%, 32%, and 5% of the study area, respectively [64]. Soil textures range from clay (47%), clay loam (31%), loamy (9%), sandy loam (8%) to bare rock (5%) [64].…”

“…RWH potential site selection and mapping by using Geospatial technology and multi-criteria analysis is a new approach to tackle drought and water scarcity for domestic use, especially, for a better agricultural activity. According to Alem (1999), Sharma and Smakhtin (2006), Prasad et al (2014), Maina and Raude (2016), Ibrahim et al (2019), and Shadeed et al (2019), land-use/land-cover, textural suitability, rainfall, lineament proximity, slope, curve number (CN), and runoff density and distance from settlement and road are the parameters for rainwater harvesting suitability site area identification.…”
