General Information

• The Fundación Promoción Social de la Cultura has worked in the Water resources management, A i lt l d l t d E i t tAgricultural development and Environment sectors since 2000, as these sectors demanded priority attention because of the structural, geographical and , g g psocial circumstances of the region.

• The attention paid to these sectors represents 13% (W t   )  d 14%(A i lt l (Water resources) and 14%(Agricultural development and Environment), of the total resources allocated to cooperation development. p p

Principles

• The work has been based on the following elements:– A clear convergence with local policies, seeking 

complementarities.– Finding specialized partners, in some sectors, in order to achieve 

better results and an efficient, long‐term management of aid.– A regional dimension in the approach and execution of certain 

actions, in order to achieve greater effectiveness and better results.

– Other elements have also been taken into consideration, such as equality between men and women, environmental sustainability,  support for social minorities and capacity building of agricultural pp p y g gassociations.

Context

• Water is one of the least developed sectors in the Mediterranean Basin. The complex circumstances in the region have hindered adequate control of aquifers.

• There are not enough management plans.O ff t i d t l t th i t f• Our efforts are aimed not only at the improvement of infrastructure, the construction of cisterns to collect rainwater, the rehabilitation of water wells and the ,renovation of wastewater drainage systems, but also at organizing awareness counseling programs about environmental conservation and rational use of waterenvironmental conservation and rational use of water.

water resources in the  P.P.T.T vary from 640 ‐ 750 Mcm/year (590 ‐ 690Mcm/year (590  690 Mcm/year in the West Bank and from 50 –60 mcm in Gaza).

II. Poor management strategy on the use of available water.Lack of coordination between national and local authorities Not– Lack of coordination between national and local authorities. Not unified policies for water pricing and water supply. Lack of real control on the national resources. Proliferation of illegal wells for agricultural uses. 

f h d f l k f– Use of inappropriate methods of agriculture. Lack of crop diversity. Use of very damaging pesticide techniques. Use of very unproductive watering techniques. Limited access to new agricultural techniques (organic agricultures, use of tensiometers, g q ( g grationalized agricultural calendar.).  

– Old and not  well maintained water networks. High water losses due to leakage from pipe lines. Failures of well pumps resulting from overload at the well’s headresulting from overload at the well s head
