Project description

The project aims to further treat the wastewater from a recently renovated wastewater treatment plant in Jenin to enable the re-use of the wastewater for agricultural irrigation purposes, in particular orchards and grassland. The project consists of a post-treatment facility, a reservoir and a 2 x 3 km piped distribution network to the agricultural areas. Initially 3,600 m3 per day will be produced, growing to 7,000 m3 per day in 2020.
