I understand your confusion on the land. But the water? Here are the facts on water in the region:
I don't understand your inexplicable confusion nor your continuing ignorance.
In the West Bank, the main groundwater resource is the Mountain Aquifer, which consists of three aquifers: [14] [21] [22]
- The Western Aquifer, in Israel called the "Yarkon-Taninim Aquifer", [23] is the largest one, with an annual safe yield of 362 million cubic metres (mcm), based on average annual estimate, (of which 40 mcm are brackish). Eighty percent of the recharge area of this basin is located within the West Bank, whereas 80% of the storage area is located within Israeli borders. Israelis exploit the aquifers of this basin by means of 300 deep groundwater wells to the west of the Green Line, as well as by deep wells within the West Bank boundary. Palestinians use it via wells and springs.
- The North-Eastern Aquifer, in Israel called the "Gilboa-Bet She'an Aquifer" or "Schechem-Gilboa Aquifer", [23] has an annual safe yield of 145 mcm (of which 70 mcm are rackish). Almost 100% of its water comes from precipitation falling within the West Bank area, but then flows underground in a northerly direction into the Bisan (Bet She'an) and Jezreel valley.
- The Eastern Aquifer, entirely within the West Bank, has an annual safe yield of 172 mcm (of which 70-80 mcm are brackish). This aquifer is mainly drained by springs.
