Since PHG was established in 1987, it strives to promote the research capacity as well as its infrastructure in the field of water and environment. It developed a reasonable water related database using various software including Arc GIS. PHG has conducted a number of useful research and studies on water and wastewater resources quantity and quality issues. Among the research accomplished and / or ongoing are: * Water quality assessment in the Gaza Strip. PHG has continuously monitored the water quality in Gaza from the total of 75 wells. However, the focus was on 45 agricultural and municipal wells. The objectives of this study were; 1 to identify the type of water quality and pollution sources; 2. To identify the salinity levels and regions in the Strip; 3. To suggest an adequate management strategy in order to decrease the groundwater pollution. The results are published in special reports. * Availability and Reliability of Hydrological Data for the West Bank and some material references for Gaza. * Design construction and chemical analysis of Deir Sharaf Well No 2a and assessment of properties of the Upper Beit Kahil aquifer in Nablus Area. * Analysis of Secondary Hydrological Data of the Northern West Bank. * Water losses through pipe networks. The objective of this study was to identify the magnitude of water losses and possibility of pollution through the leaky pipes. * Water Quality of Wells in the West Bank * Water Quality of Springs in the West Bank * Assessment of selected Solid Waste Dumping Sites in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. * Bethlehem 2000 and the Drought * Impact of Drought on Scarce Water Resources * Escalating Water Scarcity and Prospects of Demand Management Solutions * Groundwater Flow Modeling of the Eocene Aquifer of the Northeastern Groundwater Basin in the West Bank (Not published). * Geology Of Palestine. A textbook detailing the Geology of Palestine in Arabic. * Status of Agricultural wells and irrigation networks in the West Bank and Gaza. * Hydrology and Guide of Natural Springs in the West Bank (Arabic). The report includes information on more than 300 springs in the West Bank. * Potential Hydropower production of the Dead Sea. * Artesian Wells in Palestine * Legal Status of the West Bank Aquifers * Feasibility study for establishing desalination plant in Gaza. This study compares the various desalination techniques and studies the feasibility of each one. Moreover, it gives an idea about the existing plants in the Middle East region as well as the production cost of a cubic meter of water under various energy sources alternatives. * Catchment studies. PHG decided to conduct a field research in order to gather the data from the field directly. At the same time, to formulate the basis for good water resources monitoring net work (including Hydrology, meteorology and ground water), such a network will be integrated with any national water-monitoring network in the future. PHG has accomplished a report about hydrological catchments in the northern part of the West Bank (not published). * Wastewater Treatment and Reuse in the Jerusalem Area. * Water pricing Policy, Affordability and willingness to pay ( Ongoing Research) * Sustainable Management of Middle East Aquifers (Ongoing research) * Med Water Policy (Ongoing Research) * Reuse Manuals (Irrigation, Health, monitoring Procedures, Medical Manual, Crop type,etc) * Urban Hydrology (Ongoing research). phg.org
