#1 Gaza Strip is heading inexorably into a water crisis that the United Nations says could make the Palestinian enclave unlivable in just a few years

We can hope.

#2 If you didn't poop in the watershed, you wouldn't have pollution problems.

#3 Take all the Gazooks and move them to southern Libya or the middle of SA, someplace they'd like and give Gaza to the Israelis.

How long before it becomes a world class Mediterranean destination?

#4 Gaza has over pumped its aquifer so seawater has now displaced the freshwater aquifer. When you shoot rockets into Israel, the milk of human kindness dries up.

Gaza has literally and figuratively shat in its mess kit.

#5 the salinization of the gaza was one of the reasons Israel left the gaza strip

ironically, Israeli advances in desalinization technology may ultimately save the gaza

#6 I can't think of a better way to contaminate shallow aquifers than keeping sewage in ponds.

The whining for israel to fix their mess will start soon. Unfortunately, the Israelis probably will.

#7 Israel should say "FU". You got it, you broke it, you drink it

#8 if they can't operate a greenhouse how the hell are they going to do something much more complicated like Desalination. Plus it requires energy which requires real $.
