And they apparently are over-pumping. Which damages the aquifer.

Understandably, Israel's water needs are great:

Israelis - including those in the settlements - use three times as much water a day in their households as West Bank Palestinians do, according to figures provided by Palestinians and aid organizations

Of course part of what keeps Palestinians demands lower is because they are not connected to the water supply that is under the West Bank:

Some 113,000 Palestinians in the West Bank, in some 70 villages and communities, are still not connected to the water network and are dependent on water transported in tanker trucks, which raises the price significantly. In many of these communities, which are extremely poor, the families are forced to spend up to 40 percent of their income on this basic commodity.

Do you think that might lead to some Palestinian resentment? Naaahhhhhhhh!
