Israel, through legal and illegal means, maintains near-complete control over the region\u2019s freshwater aquifers, severely restricting Palestinians\u2019 abilities to drill wells, install pumps, build water tanks, or even collect rainwater. The average Israeli consumes over 3 times the water used by each Palestinian on the water grid in the West Bank (9 times the water used by those off the grid). West Bank Palestinians pay 1\/3 or more of their income to Israeli companies for drinking water. Meanwhile, Gazans are now consuming less than 3 liters per day\u2014hardly enough for survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VFHL offers three short videos describing the \u201chydropolitics\u201d and structural water apartheid in the Holy Land.
