Water scarcity is a universal problem that affects all life aspects, especially in
conflict zones. The Gaza Strip has long suffered from potable water scarcity, which
comes as a result of the excessive withdrawal of groundwater from the coastal
aquifers, the intrusion of seawater and the agricultural runoffs into the aquifers.
Many solutions had been pursued to solve the problem including purchasing potable
water from the Mekorot (an Israeli water company) and the construction of the three
seawater desalination plants. The Integrated Management System would be
proposed as a tool to enhance the performance. Thereby this study aims to assess
the potentials of applying the Integrated Management System in seawater
desalination plants (SDP’s).
The study used qualitative and quantitative methods, in which secondary data were
collected from previous studies, reports and journals, including in terms of
ecological data related to the impact of this system. Primary data were collected
through a questionnaire survey to project managers, consultants and personnel in
authorities of the water sector. The data obtained from the questionnaires were
analyzed using SPSS program, as a basis to analyze the impact of applying the IMS
in seawater desalination plants and the barriers of its implementation. A SWOT
analysis was used to design the implementation strategies. From 32 respondents,
the result showed that there are positive impacts of applying the IMS on the
financial, administrative, technical, environmental, and socio-economic
performance of the desalination plants, with 28.1 to 75% of the respondents
agreeing to the positive impacts. Biologically, the physicochemical water quality
analysis results showed that the water quality from seawater desalination plants is
compatible with PWA and WHO standards, unlike many private desalination
plants. Furthermore, the study identified 12 barriers that might obstruct the
application of the IMS in SDP’s. Further SWOT analysis mapped the potentials,
stakeholders’ responses, and barriers as internal/ external factors that determine the
type of strategies to be implemented for the system. Hereby, the highest priority
strategy is the formation of a partnership with the UN institutions to obtain
international protection and facilitate the entry of the required materials.
