Abstract
The conventional groundwater sources supply in Palestine is vulnerable
and scarce. Among potential alternative sources of supply is greywater
which usually comprises 52–82: of residential wastewater.
The aim of this research is to assess the long and short term impacts and
social acceptance of onsite GWTPs. Performance indicators were used for
assessing the quality and efficiency of the execution of treated greywater
reuse stations in the North West Bank. Six home gardens from Jenin and
Tubas governorates used treated greywater (constructed wetland system)
for fruit tree (citrus and olive) and fodder (sorghum) plantations were
assessed. A field survey (Questionnaires) were designed for the
beneficiaries. Data was collected and analyzed using Excel and SPSS
package. The short term indicator included greywater quality parameter
before and after treatment during the period from June and July 2215.

The long term indicator includes greywater treatment result in 2211 carried
out by North Agriculture Research Centre NARC compared with the
greywater treatment results in the year 2215 and the impact of irrigation
with treated greywater on chemical properties of the soil.
During 2215, the efficiency of total coliform removal was 33.3: compared
to 87 % in 2211. The decrease was 53.3:. In 2215, the efficiency of E
.coli was 37.3: compared to 55.3 % in 2211. The decrease was 18:. The
efficiency of BOD was 72.8 in 2215 compared to 75.8 % in 2211. The
decrease was 5:. The efficiency of EC was 9.8 % in 2215 compared to
27.3 % in 2211. The decrease was 17.5:. The TDS decrease 16.3 % . The
important parameters as BOD, TDS, EC, and E .coli showed a decrease in
the efficiency of the stations by time, but it remains within the accepted
Palestinian standards .
Three soil samples were collected from the garden irrigated with treated
graywater at depth 2-32cm and 32-62cm copared with the control irrigated
with fresh water. The results of the pH was 6.67 and for Ec was 2.65
which remains within the accepted Palestinian standards. The average
concentrations of Zn, Cu, Cr and Mn were 3.3, 2.44, 2.69 and 5.16
respectively in soils were not significantly higher than control. The results
also do not show any relationship between long time application of
greywater and heavy metals accumulations in the soil. In total, 62: of
individuals do not have information about greywater. The study shows that
XV
nearly 76: of the respondents face a water shortage and the same percent
reported that water prices being a major constraint they have to deal with.
The average number of seepage times is 4.6 and the average cost is 95 NIS
per each time. This reflects the high cost of the seepage. Moreover, 33: of
treatment units‟ owners stated that the units need regular maintenance.
About 71: of unit‟s owners stated that the units increase crop production in
the home garden. In addition, 89 % of them indicated the decrease in units
efficiency by time. These results are inagreement with chemical analysis.
The economic factor (37:) was limiting factor for dissemination of the
treatment units among the communities. People‟s satisfaction with the
applied GWTPs was very promising, as the majority 71.4: of GWTPs
beneficiaries are satisfied with the treatment stations.

2.2 Introduction
Water supply in Palestine is one of the most serious problems facing
Palestinian society. The lack of water resources and the competition
between different uses, i.e. domestic, agricultural and industrial is
increasing demand with time. The limitation of water resources for the
Palestinians is mainly due to the Israeli occupation authorities laws and
practices. Israeli settlements control water resources, waste a lot of fresh
water quantities, and produce a lot of wastewater which is disposed on
Palestinian land contaminating the soil and the limited water resources
available for Palestinians(Al-Jayyousi, 2223).. Cesspits used by
Palestinians to dispose their wastewater are a major source of pollution to
water resources. These cesspits also form a large burden on the income of
the Palestinian families, where some families spend about 22: of their
monthly income to manage water and wastewater at house level (PHG,
2227). Palestine is one of the most water-poor countries of the Middle East
due to natural and artificial constraints. It is also one of the most highly
populated, a fast developing country in the region and is thought to be
under significant environmental stress. Urgent actions are required to
mitigate this situation, including environmental protection and the
utilization of the available non- conventional water resources, precisely,
the utilization of the treated wastewater. At present, water needs exceed
the available water supply. The gap between water supply and water
demand is steadily growing and is calling for the adoption of the integrated
water resources management approach and the mobilization of any
3
additional conventional and non-conventional water resources. Treated
wastewater is seen as one of the promising solutions that can assist in
partially filling the gap of the growing needs for water (Mahmoud and
Mimi, 2228). Most of the wastewater is generated from households. The
domestic wastewater usually contains disease- causing pathogens and
contain heavy metals or toxic components. Controlled treatment of
wastewater is essential to reducing potential pollution of surface or
groundwater. In addition, treated wastewater can be an excellent source for
irrigation purposes. Food security is at risk because the amount of fresh
water that can form sustainable supplies to people is reaching its limits
because of Israeli restrictions, which is extended to whole of Palestine. The
current main source of income is agriculture for the majority of the
population. A state of conflict and competition over land and water
resources has arisen and continues to prevail. This has had an adverse
impact on the living and food security conditions of the household.
Properly treated wastewater can be reused to reduce the demand on high
quality freshwater resources. Wastewater recycling increases the
availability of water supply, reduces vulnerability to droughts and enables
greater human benefit with less use of fresh water. By reducing the need
for fresh water and wastewater discharges, water recycling has the
potential to make a substantial contribution to meeting human water needs,
and reducing mankind‟s impact on the world‟s water environment. As in
many developing countries, sanitation tends to receive less attention and
fewer financial resources than water supply. This leads to a lack of
4
maintenance even for existing wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), as is
the case, for example, in Morocco and Algeria where more than half of the
WWTP are not functioning properly (Coppola et al., 2224). In many
small-to-medium-sized communities, wastewater treatment requirements
are met using conventional onsite septic tanks, with effluent being
disposed into the groundwater. In Palestinian rural areas the sewage
problem is even more complicated and wastewater management at all
stages is inadequate. The existing on-site sewage disposal in rural areas
(the majority of the households in the West Bank villages use septic tanks
and cesspits) does not accommodate the vast increases in wastewater
generated by the population. Thus, untreated sewage contaminates ground
water and agricultural fields and causes critical community and
environmental health risks. Palestinian NGOs with international funds are
the main organizations involved in the construction of wastewater
treatment plants in the rural areas in the West Bank.
Water scarcity in the West Bank poses a critical constraint to further
expanding, or even maintaining present irrigated areas. There is an
increasing demand for agricultural water use to be restricted in favor of
other water consumers, such as local communities and industry. The West
Bank is that part of the Palestinian areas that were occupied by Israel in
1967 war and is at present partially under Palestinian Authority. Since
1967 Israel has controlled water resource and management in Palestine,
including the licensing, operation, administration of wells and prohibition
of new well drilling without authorization. In fact, Palestinians in the West
5
Bank are limited to 125 (million cubic meters) MCM of their water
resources per year for all purposes. From this quota, 93 MCM are used for
agriculture to irrigate around 6 percent of the Palestinian cultivated area in
the West Bank (1.68 million dunums, 1 dunum = 1222 square meters). In
contrast, Israel enjoys a plentiful supply of water (1252 MCM) to irrigate
271777522 dunums that form 62 percent of its cultivated land (Arij,2211) .
2.1 Performance indicator
A performance indicator is a measurement survey to evaluate progress
toward periodic achievement of the efficiency or productivity of a process
that reflects the outcome or results of the process activities (Fitz-Gibbon
1992). Performance indicators may be considered as providing key
information needed to define the efficiency and performance of a facility
or a system (Calor Taylor 1997). Performance indicators (PI) are
evaluation tools that measure potential advantages and restrictions within
the preparation and implementation of greywater reuse projects. The final
verdict and success of a water reuse task depends on many different
aspects such aseconomic, technical, geological, sociological,
environmental, political, and quality as well as risk issues. The purpose of
developing these performance indicators of treated greywater reuse in the
north west bank is to create impact estimation indicators of the project
interventions on farming systems and the environment (land and water
resources). Socio-economic, technical, and environmental aspects leading
to safe and productive use of wastewater for crop production systems at
the farm level and similar use of greywater at the household level .
6
Efficiency is the extent to which the resources of an undertaking are used
to provide the service by maximizing delivery and minimizing misuse.
Waste water and greywater reuse for agricultural purposes in Palestine is
being slowly introduced for a number of reasons (Houshia 2212, 2213).
Development of agriculture in north west bank (Palestine) is especially
troubled by a number of challenges, the most important of which is
constrained water resources since, as an arid and semi-arid country, it
receives very little rain (PWA). This in turn limits the extent of rain-fed
agriculture. Irrigated agriculture still has room for growth; however, it
must compete with other demands for the limited available water mainly
from domestic and industrial consumers. Thus, farmers understand that it
is vital that all available water resources in the country be put to the most
beneficial economic use, including the use of treated waste and greywater.

1.2 Literature review
Many studies on wastewater address socioeconomic and political issues
associated with its use for agriculture. Decentralized greywater
management in Japan, North America and Australia are considered the
highest ranked globally. In areas with low population densities, such as
throughout North America and Australia, greywater reuse is common
practice due to water scarcity and lack of centralized treatment facilities.
Since greywater is a reflection of household activities, its main
characteristics strongly depend on factors such asliving standard, cultural
habits, type of household chemicals used,household demography, etc. In
Cyprus, a study on greywater reuse indicates a 36: reduction in water
usage when household greywater is reused. The generated amount of
greywater greatly varies as a function of the dynamics of the household. It
is influenced by factors such as existing water supply systems, and
infrastructure, number of household members, age distribution, lifestyle
characteristics, typical water usage patterns etc. Most system failures are
caused by inappropriate operation and maintenance, sometimes also
resulting from a lack of system understanding by the owners (Sandec,
2226). Framers and common public of the MENA (Middle East And
North Africa) countries have limited knowledge and unclear perceptions
towards wastewater reuse and the prevailing water shortage. Many people
believe that Islamic religion prohibits reuse of treated wastewater.
Conversely, Islamic religion supports water demand initiatives as well as
9
reuse of treated wastewater that does not have negative impacts on public
health. Joint efforts are needed from academic, governmental,
nongovernmental, and aid institutions on developing awareness and
appropriate educational programs and initiatives that improve public
knowledge and perceptions (AbuMadi and Al-Sa‟ed, 2229).
A decentralized system employs a combination of onsite and/or cluster
systems and is used to treat and dispose of wastewater from houses and
businesses close to the source. Decentralized wastewater systems allow for
flexibility in wastewater management, and different parts of the system
may be combined into “treatment trains,” or a series of processes to meet
treatment goals, overcome site conditions, and to address environmental
protection requirements. Managed decentralized wastewater systems are
viable, long-term alternatives to centralized wastewater treatment facilities,
particularly in small and rural communities where they are often most cost-
effective. These systems already serve a quarter of the population in the
U.S. and half the population in some states. They should be considered in
any evaluation of wastewater management options for small and mid-sized
communities (Pipeline, 2222).
1.1 Greywater in Palestine
Scarcity and misuse of water are serious and growing threats to sustainable
development and protection of the environment. Human health and well
fare, industrial development, food security, and the ecosystems on which
they depend are all at risk, unless water and land resources are managed
more effectively than they have been in the past to meet the increasing
12
population demands (Al-Jayyousi, 2223). With increased population
growth and development in Palestine (PCBS, 2212), the conventional
groundwater sources supply is becoming increasingly vulnerable and
scarce. This growth, combined with recent years of low rainfall, political
turmoil, has resulted in increasing pressure on water supplies in
Palestine(Amjad, 1999). To circumvent this problem, an alternative water
resource plan is being advocated. Among these potential alternative
sources of supply is greywater(Faruqui and Al-Jayyousi. 2223). Greywater
from a single household, if treated Properly, can be considered a resource
and can be used on-site for garden irrigation, washing machines, toilet
flushing, and other outdoor uses(AlHamaiedeh and Bino. 2212). Garden
irrigation and toilet flushing, for example, do not need water with drinking
quality (Bino, Al-Beiruti and Ayesh, 2212). Greywater refers to the
wastewater generated from kitchens, bathrooms and laundries, not black
water, which is waste water containing human excrement. Greywater can
be used untreated, or it can be treated to varying degrees to reduce
nutrients and disease-causing microorganisms. The appropriate uses of
greywater depend on both the source of greywater and the level of
treatment. The potential health risks associated with greywater recycling
when it has been sourced from a multi-dwelling or commercial premises
are considered potentially greater than those associated with greywater
recycling within single domestic premises. Therefore, greywater recycling
must always occur in a safe and controlled manne (Al- Hamaiedeh, 2212).
In the northern part of the Palestine (West Bank), there are many
11
communities with sparse population and large landscape area that have not
permanent water resources. For agriculture and domestic purposes these
communities get their water from either the seasonal rainfall or they resort
to trucking water in tanks from a distant source. Those towns and villages
lack proper sewage system. The reuse of grey-water at household scale has
become an important tool to enhance water efficiency, which enables them
to use for water for multi-purpose irrigation.
The generated amount of greywater greatly varies as a function of the
dynamics of the household. Its influence by factors such as infrastructure,
existing water supply systems, age distribution, number of household
members, typical water usage patterns, and life style characteristics etc.
Reuse of treated greywater in irrigation can significantly contribute to
reducing water usage and increasing food security. Greywater reuse is
especially recommended in areas facing water stress such as the Middle
East and Sub-Saharan Africa. Most system failures are caused by improper
operation and maintenance, sometimes also resulting from a lack of system
understanding by the owners (Sandec, 2226). Greywater contains
impurities and micro-organisms derived from personal and household
cleaning activities. While bathroom and laundry water are relatively
moderate, kitchen water often needs special attention because it is
contained with organic matter from food wastes. Greywater is distinct
from black water (from the toilet or urinal) as there are fewer
environmental and health risks associated with its use. If used wisely and
appropriately, Greywater including its separation, containment and use can
12
be a simple home-based water demand management strategy that has
benefits at the household level as it can be considered as an alternative
water resource to optimize productivity (Redwood, 2227). Greywater thus
does not contain the same elevated level of pathogens (WHO, 2226).
Greywater should be regarded as a valuable resource and not as a waste.
Despite the described inadequate greywater management risks, greywater
has, nevertheless, a great potential to reduce the water stress currently
faced by regions in the world. Reuse of greywater for irrigating home
gardens or agricultural land is widespread, especially in regions with water
scarcity or high water prices such as the Middle East, Latin America and
parts of Africa. Greywater is thus perceived and recognized as a valuable
resource (Sandec, 2226). Greywater in contrast to common perception,
may be quite polluted, and thus may pose health risks and negative
aesthetics (i.e., offensive odour and colour) and environmental effects
(Diaper et al., 2221). Onsite greywater reuse is a feasible solution for
decreasing overall urban water demand, not only from an environmental
standpoint, but also from economic profitability under typical conditions
(Friedler and Hadari, 2225). One strategy may be to encourage more on-
site sanitation rather than expensive transport of sewerage to centralized
treatment plants: this strategy has been successful in Dakar, Senegal, at the
cost of about 422 US$ per household (World Bank, 2225). A series of
projects on greywater treatment and reuse have been implemented in
Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine. The projects explored water management
techniques, simple technological innovations and creative agricultural
practices for greywater reuse at the household level. Households used the
recycled water to irrigate crops with associated social and economic
13
benefits. Officials monitored the quality of the greywater used for
irrigation over time and concluded that the system met WHO‟s standard
for restricted irrigation (AWC, 2226)
1.1 Greywater definitions
Greywater is washing water from bathtubs, showers, bathroom
washbasins, clothes washing machines and laundry tubs, kitchen sinks and
dishwashers. (Del Porto and Steinfeld, 2222)
Whereas NSW Health(2222) defined greywater as a wastewater which is
not grossly contaminated by feces or urine, i.e. the wastewater arising from
plumbing fixtures not designed to receive human excrement or discharges
and includes bath, shower, hand basin, laundry and kitchen discharges.
Greywater safer (2224) defined greywater as a wastewater generated in the
bathroom, laundry and kitchen, and is therefore the components of
wastewater which have not originated from the toilet.
Greywater arises from domestic washing operations. Sources include
waste from hand basins, kitchen sinks and washing machines, but
specifically exclude black water from toilets, bidets and urinals. (Jefferson
et al., 2221)
Greywater is defined as all wastewaters generated in the household,
excluding toilet wastes. It can come from the sinks, showers, tubs, or
washing machine of a home. (Casanova et al., 2221)
1.2 Greywater sources
Greywater can be divided into several groups, according to the source of
the greywater. In this section work the structure shown in Table (1) is
14
used. Table (1) gives a first overview of the general characteristics of the
three main greywater source types.

The most significant pollutants of greywater are powdered laundry
detergents. These contain high salt concentration and in many cases still
contain phosphorus, and are often very alkaline. Long term garden reuse of
laundry water containing high salt and phosphorus concentrations can lead
to salt accumulations in the soil and stunting of plants with low
15
phosphorus tolerance. Regions with regular rainfall may not suffer salt
build-ups due to leaching of salts from soil after rain. There are several
alternatives to using powdered laundry detergents. These include liquid
detergents (which are generally much lower in salt content), pure soap
flakes (e.g. Lux soap flakes) or ceramic disks (e.g. Tri-Clean laundry
disks). High strength cleaners should be avoided in the home, as they are
often toxic to both people and the environment. If caustic cleaners are
washed down the drain, they are likely to kill beneficial treatment bacteria
in soils if greywater is reused for onsite garden irrigation (Marshall, 1996).
1.3Composition of household greywater
Table 2.2 presents the microbiological quality (the number of
thermotolerant coliforms) of greywater from various sources in a
residential dwelling. Thermotolerant coliforms are also known as faecal
coliforms (expressed as colony forming units per 122 ml) and are a type of
micro-organism which typically grow in the intestine of warm blooded
animals (including humans) and are shed in their millions to billions per
gram of faeces. A high faecal coliform count is undesirable and indicates a
greater chance of human illness and infections developing through contact
with the wastewater.

The chemical and physical quality of treated greywater is shown in Table
2.2. The high variability of the greywater quality is due to factors such
aswater use efficiencies of appliances, individual habits, source of water
and fixtures, products used (detergents,soaps, shampoos) and other
characteristics.

Wastewater Reuse Water reuse can be planned through specifically
designed projects to treat, store, convey and distribute treated wastewater
for irrigation. Examples of planned reuse can be found in Tunisia. Indirect
reuse can also be planned as in Jordan and Morocco, where treated
wastewater is discharged into open watercourses. Wherever available,
farmers prefer to rely on freshwater, which is usually very cheap and
socially acceptable. But if no other source of water is available, especially
in arid and semiarid regions such as the case in the Middle East, farmers
17
throughout the region would be encouraged to use wastewater for
irrigation (EMWATER, 2224). Recycling wastewater for food production
is less common than using wastewater for municipal uses, golf courses, or
wetlands. Yet, it is common in poorer countries of the world where water
is simply unavailable or where the economic incentive to reuse is
substantial. It is estimated that 22 million farmers worldwide uses
untreated or partially treated wastewater (WHO, 2228). There are several
theoretical advantages of using wastewater: It is available for 365 days a
year, it comes in reliable and predictable quantities, quantities are not
normally reduced during a drought, it can be made available cheaply.
Unfortunately, in Palestine policy to promote reuse attempts so far have
not been conclusive (World Bank, 2229). Oron et al. (1999) identified two
basic requirements for utilization of wastewater as a solution for water
shortage problems whilst minimizing the health and environmental risks:
(i) the need for comprehensive wastewater collection systems, and (ii) the
need for well-operated wastewater treatment facilities. The most important
barriers for reuse of reclaimed wastewater in the MENA region, the reuse
of reclaimed wastewater are often recognized after the design and
implementation of treatment plants. Due to low tariffs of irrigation water,
farmers are not attracted to replace freshwater with reclaimed wastewater,
framers and common public of the MENA countries have limited
knowledge and unclear perceptions towards wastewater reuse and the
prevailing water shortage (Abu-Madi and Al-Sa‟ed, 2229). Palestine has
its own standard “The sixth draft of treated wastewater standard”, which
18
has been prepared by a special technical committee. The main components
of the standard are as elaborated in Table (2-4).The standard consists of a
combination of factors that influence the use treated wastewater in several
purposes, and reclaimed wastewater is classified into 4 groups as shown in
the Table (2-4) below.

wastewater standard).

1.4 Trace elements in the environment
Trace elements are released into the environment from the natural
weathering of rocks and minerals from various sources related to human
activity. Although the concentration of these elements occurring in nature
is generally low, they may directly or indirectly affect the chemical
composition of foodstuff and animal feed, potable water supplies and
airborne particulates and dust. The practical implication of trace elements
in the environment relates to their availability for plant uptake from the
soils and their release into water systems. The content of trace elements in
19
soil is an indication of possible excesses or deficiencies for plant nutrition
and ultimately animal and human health (Haluschak et al., 1998).
1.2 Factors affecting the concentration and distribution of trace
elements in soil
The concentrations of trace elements in the soil and water is the result of
interaction between various factors affecting geological weathering and
soil forming processes (Haluschak et al., 1998).local soil and hydrological
conditions affecting processes of soil formation, soil development and
availability of trace elements for plant uptake. Heavy metal content in soils
irrigated by treated wastewater soil is an essential natural resource but with
time degradation will be increased due to the deposition of pollutants. The
study of Maldonado (2228) demonstrated that among the variables, soil
type was the only factor showing a statistical difference. It was noted that
concentrations of boron, chromium, copper, iron and nickel concentrated
in deeper soil layers while cadmium, potassium, sodium, and lead showed
the opposite effect.
It was also noted that organic material is an important variable and that it
can influence the mobility of metals in those areas where high
concentrations, coincide with constant irrigation. Clearly, the area has been
constantly exposed to certain health hazardous metals. More attention is
recommended, even though at this time a wastewater treatment plant has
22
been built and partly treated water is used to irrigate the crops (Maldonado
et al., 2228). In contaminated soils, heavy metals such as arsenic,
cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury and zinc are common
(Raymond et al., 2211).
1.2 Long term impact of treated greywater reuse on chemical and
physical soil characteristics
In Jordan, the use of treated greywater (GW) for irrigation in home
gardens is becoming increasingly common. According to a study
conducted by Mutah University and The Inter-Islamic Network on Water
Resources Development and Management, Amman, Jordan on Effect of
treated greywater reuse in irrigation on soil and plants, treated greywater
produced from 4-barrel and confined trench treatment units were used for
irrigation of olive trees and some vegetable crops. The quality of treated
and untreated GW was studied to evaluate the performance of treatment
units and the suitability of treated GW for irrigation according to Jordanian
standard. Effect of treated GW reuse on the properties of soil and irrigated
plants at Al-Amer villages, Jordan, has been investigated. The results
showed that salinity, Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), and organic content
of soil increased as a function of time, therefore leaching of soil with fresh
water was highly recommended. The chemical properties of the irrigated
olive trees and vegetable crops were not affected, while the biological
quality of some vegetable crops was adversely affected (Al-Hamaiedeh et
al., 2212). Glasshouse experiments were conducted to examine the effects
21
of greywater irrigation on the growth of silver beet plants, their water use
and changes in soil properties. Results showed that greywater irrigation
had no significant effect on soil total Nitrogen and total Phosphorous after
plant harvest, but there were significant effects on the values of soil pH
and EC. Furthermore, there were no significant effects of greywater
irrigation on plant dry biomass, water use and number of leaves. Irrigating
alternate with potable water and greywater could reduce some of the soil
health risks associated with the reuse of greywater (Pinto et al., 2212).
A controlled study of the effect of greywater (GW) irrigation on soil
properties was conducted by Micheal et al., (2212), Containers of sand,
loam and loess soils were planted with lettuce, and irrigated with fresh
water, raw artificial greywater or treated artificial greywater. Greywater
was treated using a recalculating vertical-flow constructed wetland. It was
demonstrated that raw artificial greywater significantly increased the
development of hydrophobicity in the sand and loam soils, as determined
by water droplet penetration time. No significant changes were observed
for the loess soil under all treatments. This study demonstrates that treated
greywater can be effectively used for irrigation without detrimental effects
on soil or plant growth. Hamaiedeh (2212) showed that there is no
increase in the rate of water born diseases after greywater reuse for
irrigation. The accumulation of heavy metals in the soil was insignificant
and the uptake of these metals by the irrigated plants did not occur.
22
Greywater contains significant concentrations of materials with potential
negative environmental and health impact, such as salts, surfactants, oils,
synthetic chemicals and microbial contaminants (Gross et al., 2227).

1.2 Methodology
1.2.2 introduction to Performance indicators
Performance indicators were considered in this study for an
integrated evaluation of the performance indicators for safety reuse of the
treatment of gray water in Northern west bank. Performance indicators for
greywater reuse are qualitative and quantitative indicators for assessing the
quality and efficiency of the execution of treated greywater reuse projects
in the North West Bank. The Performance indicators are divided into
social, economic, and environmental indicators.
Social indicators: training, quality of life, society awareness of water
resources and cover employment.
Economic indicators: saving, cover supply, process/service saving,
infrastructure needs, increased crop productivity, and economic
development .
24
Environmental indicators: change in soil composition ,cover changes in
water composition (physical–chemical) and ecological quality (Alimari et
al.,2212).
To measure the above indicators, the following activities were conducted:
1.2.1 Socioeconomic impacts of treated grey water
1.2.1.2 Field Questionnaires Formulation
A field survey covered the main groups of interest for reuse of treated
greywater in irrigation in north west bank. Questionnaires were designed
for the target group and were distributed for the direct and indirect
beneficiaries. Data were collected and analyzed using Excel and SPSS
package.
1.2.1.1 Questionnaire themes
The sample size of 71 households was selected and personally interviewed
from two governorates Jenin 33 and Tubas 38.
The questionnaire covered baseline information on the following:
- Social information on farmer‟s household.
- Irrigation quantities, quality, cost, irrigation methods.
- Level of awareness of safety reuse of greywater.
- Identification of the impact of greywater treatment unit on the
environment.
- Evaluation of the total saving in freshwater use.
- Evaluation of the farming, fertilizer use ,and crop patterns.
- Conduct economic analyses to assess previous farming practices and
farm greywater reuse scheme.
25
1 .1 Greywater Sampling
Field visits were carried out to determine greywater sampling, and
greywater treatment unit locations in Jenin and Tubas. Six unites were
chosen. sampling was conducted according to ministry of agriculture guide
line.
1. 1 Chemical analysis of the greywater in target area
Analysis of the greywater before and after the treatment were performed
acquiring several samples and analyzing the parameters. These include
analysis of Cations such as: Mg2+
, Ca2+
, K+, Na
+, and Anions such: NO
3-,
PO43-
,Cl-, CO3
2-. Other important parameters include chemical oxygen
demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), Conductivity, Total
Coliforms (TC), and the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS).
1 .2 Soil sampling
Soil samples were collected from three plan from Tubas and Jenin village
(three home gardens irrigated by treated greywater) and control sample
irrigated by fresh water. sampling was conducted according to ministry of
agriculture guide line. Samples were collected from two depth 2-32 cm
and 32-62cm and placed in plastic bags for transport and storage.
1.2.2 Chemical analysis for the soil.
Analysis of the irrigated soil with treated greywater will be performed
acquiring several soil samples and analyzing the parameters. These include
analysis of Cations such as: Mg2+
, Ca2+
, K+, Na
+ and Anions such: NO
3-,
PO43-
, Cl- and CO3
-2. Other important parameters including Total
Dissolved Solids (TDS) and the biological oxygen demand were
monitored.
26
1.3 Analytical Methods of treated greywater
Several analytical methods for treated greywater parameters, namely
chemical, physical and microbiological were analyzed. Chemical
analyzing was conducted according to An-Najah National University.
1.3.2 Chemical parameters
1.3.2.2 pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Electrical conductivity.
pH, TDS, EC and were measured in situ by a multipurpose EC- pH meter
(HACH) (Clescerl et al., 1998).
1.3.2.1 Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)was determined by digesting water
sample with potassium dichromate and concentrated sulfuric acid, and
after that sample was titrated with 2.25M potassium dichromate(Clescerl
et al., 1998).
1.3.2.1 Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)
The air tight bottle was filled by 122 ml water and incubated at 22 (C for 5
days. After 5 days, Biochemical dissolved oxygen reading (ppm) was
measured by using the dissolved oxygen test kit (Clescerl et al., 1998).
1.3.2.2Chloride test Cl--
Titrated 12 ml volume sample and12 ml distilled water volume (blank)and
3 drops of potassium chromate K2CrO4(indicator) using 2.2141 N
AgNO3(Clescerl et al., 1998).
1.3.2.3 Sulfates (SO2-1)
27
Spectrophotometer at an absorbance of 422 nm wavelengths was used to
measure sulfate from paper-filtered sample(Clescerl et al., 1998).
1.3.2.4 Total hardness
Hardness was determined by titrated sample against disodium ethylene
demine tetra acetate (EDTA) to it is equivalence point by using eriochrome
black T indicator. The result changes of the solution from red to blue.
After titration, pH of the sample was adjusted to 12.2 with ammonium
buffer kit (Clescerl et al., 1998).
1.4.1.2 Greywater station in the study area
In West Bank there are many localities with a consider able population
numbers and area, mainly in the northern part, have no permanent water
resources and depend mainly on rainfall or water transportation from far
sources to obtain their needs for domestic and agriculture purposes. For
these towns and the village that also lack sewage system, the reuse of
greywater at household scale became an important tool to enhance water
use efficiency, which enables people to obtain additional water to be used
for irrigation purposes.
1.4.1.1 Sites selections
Jenin, Tubas which are located in North West Bank, which are a major
agricultural area with limited water resources. They mainly cultivated rain
fed crops, such as wheat, barley and some forages. Eastern parts of these
areas are considered a marginal region with limited rainfall that do not
exceed 322 mm in the good year.
28
1.4.1.1 Description of household greywater treatment plant used in
the research area
The constructed wetland system was developed by ICARDA and adopted
by NARC. The design of the treatment unit of the “wetland system”
consisted of the followings:
The greywater from the house is transferred to the manhole through a PVC
pipe (diameter = 4 inches) for further gravity separation. The manhole
contains two valves for maintenance and controlling overflow to cesspits,
and is covered with a concrete lid (diameter 52cm, depth 52cm).
Gravity separation: A 122 L tank which separates greywater into three
layers: solids in the bottom (if present), the upper layer of grease and oils,
and a middle layer consisting of greywater. There is a filter connected to
the end of the line to take the water to the next part. The other end is
connected to a pierced horizontal 3˝tube. The upper end of the U-tube is
connected to a 52cm tube for sampling. The 3˝ U – pipe tube were used to
transfer the middle layer (water) to the next part.
The third compartment is used as up flow Tuff. This part has been
constructed from concrete and cinder-blocks (Dimensions W=82cm,
H=82cm, L= 4m). The compartment has a slight ground slope of 1:. There
is a layer of soft sand to adjust the slope and to protect internal black-
plastic cover (thickness 622 micron). An insulating sheet of polystyrene
(thickness 2cm) is placed between the walls of the compartment and the
black-plastic cover. Finally, the volcanic Tuff (diameter ~22 mm) was
placed in the compartment.
29
The fourth compartment (barrel = 122 liter) is a collection and a pumping
stage. This drum is placed below the ground level by a 25 cm. A concrete
slab is poured into the barrel to hold it in place. Holes of 2.5 cm are then
drilled through the sides of the barrel to a height of up to 52 cm. Then, a
submersible pump is installed within the barrel and an electric aeration unit
is installed to pump the air from the bottom of the barrel to the top
(bubbling air). A drip irrigation system is connected with the setup to
efficiently distribute the water to the garden trees (Houshia et al.,2212)

The following paragraphs are discussion of each of the indicator
separately.
2.2.2 COD
Figure (4. 1) illustrate the values of effluent COD of the six analyzed
greywater treatment plants. The minimum COD value was122ppm while
the maximum was 842ppmin the treated greywater. The minimum COD
value was962ppm while the maximum was 3222ppmin the raw greywater.
The overall COD average was 2277ppm in raw greywater and 422.83 ppm
in treated water. All of the measured COD values indicate that treated
greywater can be used for irrigation purposes. This agreed with Al-
Hamaiedeh and Bino (2212)results were the COD in raw greywater ranged
from 92 to 2263 ppm and from 36 -763 ppm in treated greywater. The
chemical oxygen demand (COD) is often high. It also typically contains
indicator bacteria, including thermotolerant coliforms, hence may contain
fecal pathogens. Eriksson et al., (2223) reported COD in greywater ranged
from 77-242 mg/l while Carden et al., (2227) analysis of COD in
greywater ranged from 1472-8492 mg/l the value of COD depends
largely on the amount of water used and the household cleaning products.
In addition, there are differences in COD between various sources of
greywater for example laundry 725-1815 mg/l COD; and kitchen 26-1382
mg/l COD (Nolde, 1999; Eriksson et al., 2222). Jefferson (2228) also
identified laundry greywater as the greatest contributor to the COD of the
greywater fraction. Concentration of COD in greywater is derived from
household chemicals such as dishwashing and laundry detergents, food
34
waste from the kitchen sinks, and body dirt. Although organics vary in
their sorption, volatility and persistence in soil, if greywater is released to
soil, high removal of organics is expected with an overall removal of ≥92:
(Weston, 1998).

2.2.1 BOD3
Figure(2.1) illustrate the values of effluent BOD5 of the six analyzed
greywater treatment plants. The minimum BOD5 value was151 mg/l while
the maximum was 242mg/l for treated greywater. The minimum BOD5
value was 591.5 mg /l while the maximum was 788.5mg/l for raw
greywater.
The overall BOD5 average was in raw greywater 712 mg/l and 178mg/l
for treated greywater. Typical values for BOD5 in grey waterw as reported
by Siegrist (1977) which ranged from 33-292 mg/L, while values for an
untreated domestic wastewater range from 122-422 mg/L.Kiplagat Kotut
et al., (2211) reported BOD in greywater ranged from 412-6252 mg/l.

This is also compared to the values obtained by Al-Hamaiedeh and Bino
(2212) where raw greywater ranged from 112 to 1242 mg/l and treated
greywater ranged from 12 to 412 mg/l. These values of BOD5 in this
research indicated that the treated greywater can be used for unrestricted
irrigation purposes.

for raw greywater. The overall Cl-average was 326.3 mg/l for raw
greywater and 224 mg/l for treated greywater. This value of Cl- due to
precpitiation in the treatment unit after the reaction with cations Ca, Na
and other .This data fall within the Palestinian standard for treated
wastewater (2212) where it was 422-622 mg/l for trees (appendix 2). All
samples have slight to moderate restrictions to be used in irrigation, and
does not exceed the recommended limits. Aburahma (2213) reported a
minimum value of 272 mg/l for treated greywater while the maximum was
322.6 mg/l with an overall average 291.2 mg/l.

Figure(4.9) illustrate the values of the effluent pH of the six analyzed
greywater treatment plants. The pH ranged from 7.2 to 7.9 for treated
greywater while the range from 4.8 to 6.5 for raw greywater. The overall
pH average was 5.8 for raw greywater and 7.5 for treatment greywater.
This increase pH resulted from the degradation detergent which could
release cations as P, Na+, K
+ , in the treatment unit, addition of the effect
sulfonic acid setric acid used in preparation detergent. The overall average
was 7.3 and falls within the standard limits. The variability of pH values
indicates that the constituents of greywater are not steady and changes
from acid to base depend on the discharged greywater from domestic
sources. The lower pH values may result from the use of water without any
alkalinity adjustment, whereas the high figures indicate the presence of

overall E. coli average was 1882.2 cfu/122ml for raw greywater and
1172.8 cfu/122mlfor treated greywater. E. coli is bacteria that may or may
not be pathogenic, and its ubiquitous in the human intestinal tract.
Generally more than 92: of the fecal coliform are Escherichia (usually
written as E. coli). This value is higher than Palestinian standard for
treated wastewater (2212) where it was 1222 cfu/122 ml for irrigated trees
(appendix 2).When untreated greywater is stored, it will turn septic, giving

during the first 24 to 48 hours of storage. Therefore, untreated greywater
must only be stored temporarily, for less than 24 hours, in a surge tank.

282222cfu/122 ml. The overall E. coli average was 145526.3 cfu/122 ml
for raw greywater and 12345.8cfu/122 ml for treated greywater. Total
Coliform counts generally were high and exceeded our dilution ranges.

fecal streptocci are the indicator of organisms currently used in the public
health area. Coliform bacteria include all aerobic and facultative anaerobic,
gram-negative, nonspore-forming, rod-shaped bacteria that ferment lactose
with gas formation. There are three groups of coliform bacteria used as
standards: Total Coliforms (TC), Fecal Coliforms (FC) and Escherichia
coli. Total coliforms are the broadest grouping including Escherichia,
Enterobacter, Klebsiella, and Citrobacter found naturally in the soil, as
well as in feces. Fecal coliforms are the next widest groups, which
includes many species of bacteria commonly found in the human intestinal
tract. Usually between 62: and 92: of total coliforms are fecal coliforms
(Houshia et al.,2212).

2 .1 Efficiency
TDS values were reduced by 15.5: as represented in Figure 13. Total
coliforms were lowered by 33%, which was a good considering that these
microbes occur in large quantities in the soil. The detected E. coli in the
effluents decreased by 37.8: lower than in the raw greywater. This
suggests a high efficiency of the stations in pathogens removing. The
efficiencywas72.8% for BOD, 15.5% for TDS, and 87% for NO3- which
falls within the standards approved by the Palestine Standards Institute
recently and by the Palestinian Authority in 2212 (appendix 2) .

2.1.2 Long term indicator
The long term indicator includes greywater treatment result in 2211
carried out by NARC compared with the greywater treatment results in this
study 2215 and the impact of irrigation with treated greywater on chemical
properties of the soil.
During 2215, the efficiency of total coliform was 33.3: compared to87
%in 2211. The decrease was 53.3%. In 2215, the efficiency of E .coli was
48
37.3: compared to 55.3 %in 2211. The decrease was 18:. The efficiency
of BOD was 72.8 in 2215 compared to 75.8 % in 2211. The decrease was
5:. The efficiency of EC was 9.8 % in 2215 compared to 27.3 % in
2211. The decrease was 17.5:. The TDS decrease 16.3 % (Figure 4.13).
The important parameters as BOD, TDS, EC, and E .coli showed a
decrease in the efficiency of the stations by the time, but it remains within
the accepted Palestinian standards.
It was noted that with time the accumulation of some salts such as Ca2+
,
HCO3-, NO3
- exposed a risk of soil sanalization when using this water for
irrigation especially if the soil already has high levels of salinity.

2.1.1.2 pH values
The variation of pH values, seems to be constant and it is remained in the
average 6.76.McIlwaine and Redwood (2212) reported value for pH of
soil not subject to greywater irrigation ranged from 7.7 to 7.9. In
comparison to previous research soil sample from different depth where
the pH values of 7.5, 7.1, and 6.9 for the 32-, 62-, and 92-cm soil depths,
respectively. (Veneman and Stewart 2222).
2.1.1.1 Electrical conductivity (EC)
The electrical conductivity (EC) of the soil correlated with soil properties
and affect crop productivity, cation exchange capacity (CEC), drainage
conditions, organic matter level and salinity. The average EC 2.65 for soil
irrigated with greywater while the average EC 2.8 for soil irrigated with
freshwater.
Mohammad and Mazahreh (2223) found that wastewater irrigation
increased the level of total salinity due to the wastewater salt content..
greywater projects undertaken in neighboring Jordan have found that there
were slight increases in soil salinity in the years after greywater systems
were introduced (Murad & Ayes,2212). According to the WHO
guidelines, salinity problems can occur when soil conductivity is greater
than 3 m/Sm (deciSiemens per meter); in the Jordanian case, salinity levels
rose from 2.34-2.96 m/Sm before greywater use to 1.1-1.82 m/Sm
51
afterward (WHO 2226; Murad, AlBeiruti& Ayes 2212). While this
increase is worrisome, it remains well below the levels at which salinity
problems can occur.
2.1.1.1 Heavy metals (Zn, Cu,Cr&Mn)
The average concentrations of Zn, Cu, Cr and Mn were 3.3,2.44,2.69 and
5.16 respectively in soils receiving treated greywater were not
significantly higher. The results also do not show any relationship between
long time application of greywater and heavy metals accumulations in the
soil. Mohammad and Mazahreh(2223) reported that soil Zn and Cu were
not significantly affected by wastewater irrigation. Zhang et al,(2227)
conduct a research in China and reported soil salinity increase due to
irrigation with treated wastewater, but remained within the acceptable
standards. Hamidiah (2212) found the irrigation with treated greywater for
about five years did not show accumulation of heavy metals in the soil,
which might be due to leaching of soil by rain and tap water.
2.2 Socioeconomic indicator
The field survey results are listed below by governorates. The
questionnaire covered many topics including general information,
infrastructure, crops, extension, gender, credits and water. Table (4.5)

indicated the decrease in units efficiency by the time and this with the
agreement with chemical analysis.
2.2.2 General information of GWTP unit
The treatment units (constructed wetland) which are distributed in the rural
communities have been constructed over the last five years by NARC in
collaboration with ICARDA. The finding showed that 33:of the total
constructed treatment units were not operated any more due to many
reasons including strong bad odor and its impacts on the owner and
neighbors. These results agreed with the results of Thaher and Mahmoud
(2212).
The treatment units require the availability of enough space area
surrounding the home. The average area of garden is 531 m2. On average
98.3 % of houses have a rain water harvesting system. The yield and food
security were improved by 77.8 %. Sandec (2226) pointed out that reuse
of treated greywater in irrigation can significantly contribute to reducing
water bills and increasing food security.
The economic factor (37:) was limiting factor for dissemination of the
treatment units among the communities (Figure 4.24).

People‟s satisfaction with the applied GWTPs was promising, as the
majority of GWTPs beneficiaries showed 71.4: are satisfied with the
treatment unit (Figure 4.25).
This results agreed with Khatun et al,(2211) founding where many people
still willing to accept greywater and adapt it to secure their water need for
irrigation due to shortage of water resources in the studied area.

2.2.4 Wastewater Systems “Cesspits” for the households who have no
treatment units at their houses.
The findings showed 83: household interviewers have no idea about
greywater treatment systems. The majority of households 62: preferred
the use GWTPs. About 87.3: of the households used cesspits as the main
applied system for wastewater disposal.
About 12:of the cesspits owners did not ever discharge the wastewater
from cesspits since construction, and 88: discharge the cesspits each
month, this explains the pollution of the groundwater in which wastewater
percolate directly into the ground layers cause a direct pollution to
groundwater, soil contamination, and the negative effects on agriculture
(PWA, 2212(.
About 72: of cesspit‟s owners were not satisfied due to many reasons such
as financial burden on householders of continuous cesspits emptying,
environment pollution and leakage of wastewater to the neighboring
cistern, health concerns and odor emission, insects infestation, high capital
cost for cesspit construction and system‟s blockage (figure 4.27).

The average times of cesspits pools discharge were 6.7 per year for the
households who don‟t won treatment units and 4.2 per year for the
households who won treatment units. The average cost for each time of the
discharge is 92 NIS. The cost was decreased 37: by the use of treatment
units.
2.2.20 Relations between dependent factor and qualitative factors
(independent):
The relations between the people who use GWTPs for garden
irrigation(dependent factor) compared to the qualitative independent
factors are indicated in table (4.9). The independent factors were: family
size, knowledge of greywater treatment use for irrigation, education level,
environmental and agriculture service and acceptance to buy crops
irrigated with treated greywater.

on greywater reuse decreased from about 74 % household who owns
GWTP group to 26: in household who have no GWTP. The percent of
environmental and agricultural service was decreased from about 81:
household who owns GWTP to 19: in household who have no GWTP.

Conclusions and Recommendations
3.2 Conclusions
The main finding of this research is that reusing treated grey water for
irrigation is environmentally sound with respect to soil quality in the study
area. The specific conclusions are:
The pH, TDS, Na ־+,Ca
2+, Cl
-, BOD, PO4
2+ and SO4
2- fall within the
Palestinian standard for treated wastewater (2212).
While Mg ־2+
,NO-3 and COD were higher than the standard.
72
Soil quality remained non affected by the irrigation with treated ־
graywater after five years.
.Soil pH and Ec remained within the normal range ־
The average concentrations of Zn, Cu, Cr and Mn in the soil ־
irrigated by treated greywater were not significantly higher than the
standard. The results also do not show any relationship between
long time application of treated greywater and heavy metals
accumulations in the soil.
Recommendation:
This study recommends the use of treated greywater for agriculture home
garden. This decentralized small-scale technology can help to alleviate
water insecurity in rural communities.
It is recommended to increase the education programs and public
awareness campaigns that stress the safety of the system and its
effectiveness in crop irrigation. Targeted public awareness campaigns
71
reaching out to the social groups responsible for water management. which
is used by most rural communities in Palestine is fraught with
Public health risks of the current cesspit system in Palestine can
beeliminated through the implementation of greywater recycling systems
where cesspit systems fail to protect Palestine‟s vital freshwater resources.
Some rural Areas pays a high price for water and this form chronic water
insecurity. Treated greywater reduce the problem of water scarcity.
Women play a key role in the maintenance, sustainability and operation of
the greywater recycling systems. The empowerment of women will lead to
the sustainability of the station.
Increase the intervals of the extension services for the use of treated
graywater in the irrigation of home garden.
It is recommended to disseminate constructed wet land system for
household don't connected to the derange system.
Maintenance and flow up for the treatment unit increase the efficiency .
