Palestine

[edit]

There is a glaring omission here of the political and internationally doubly illegal use of palestinian water by israel and by israeli "settlers" on palestinian land ref.--— ⦿⨦⨀Tumadoireacht Talk/Stalk 21:54, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Problems in section "Conventional water resources"

[edit]
I agree and suggest to remove the sections. However, I think it is ok to keep a comparison of water resources per capita or water use per capita between Israel and the Palestinian territories in an appropriate place in the article.--Mschiffler (talk) 16:15, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

500,000 homes without sewerage

[edit]

Since the link is broken I can't read the article to see what it actually says, but the figure seems far-fetched, and if it's somehow true then the methodology used to reach it might be faulty or misleading. There definitely aren't 500,000 homes in Israel not connected to sewerage, because that figure is close to the number of buildings in Israel, and multi-floor buildings are connected to the system. I am assuming that they are referring to housing units, including in localities unrecognized by the government. If so, this must be stated because otherwise the figure is very misleading; unrecognized localities aren't connected to sewerage by definition. —Ynhockey (Talk) 13:16, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I had a go at fixing it. Feel free to put the dubious tag back. Sean.hoyland - talk 13:31, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

  • http://www.water-technology.net/projects/israel/
    Triggered by \bwater-technology\.net\b on the local blacklist
  • http://www.water-technology.net/projects/israel/Ashkelon

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

I have just added archive links to one external link on Water supply and sanitation in Israel. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Percentage of water supply from desalination

[edit]

The article says: "By 2014, Israel's desalination programs provided roughly 35% of Israel's drinking water and it is expected to supply 40% by 2015 and 70% by 2050."

Not only is this statement obviously outdated, I think it's also generally incorrect, as desalination provides over 50% of Israel's total water (not just drinking), as far as I know. This article puts the figure at 70% of the total, but that seems dubious too, and it's more likely that the 70% figure is related to drinking water. Does anyone have more reliable figures? I'm sure Mekorot publishes them, but I wasn't able to find anything with a simple search.

Groundwater (aquifers) in Israel AND Palestine

[edit]

What do you think about combining somewhere the main data about the aquifers in Israel AND Palestine? Just the physical, not the political data. I just copied the main info on natural water resources from the Palestine article into this one, where so far it was missing (?!), and added a few words about the Galilee and the Negev. As we know, the physical geography of these two political entities is inextricably connected, the hydrography maybe more visibly so than any other aspect: the water crosses all political boundaries not only above ground, but (mainly?) underground, as aquifers; and in ecological terms, what you do upstream also affects everyone downstream. The two politically overloaded articles could then be linked to the "clean" one on hydrology, and continue fighting it out on the 'conflict' level. Opinion? PS: I've posted this idea also here and here. Cheers, Arminden (talk) 12:53, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. But where? You may want to create a new article called "Groundwater in Israel and Palestine" and create links from the two country water supply and sanitation profiles to that new article.--Mschiffler (talk) 13:55, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
