Abstract

ABSTRACTThe Gaza Strip experiences a water crisis of persistent qualitative and quantitative deterioration in regard to groundwater. There is a low recharging rate of the aquifer because of the low seasonal rainfall, the fast expansion of the urban area, and the high seawater intrusion along the narrow coastal Gaza Strip. Thus, the extremely hard water reduces the performance of the reverse osmosis desalination household units and causes membrane fouling. Sphagnum peat for removal of calcium from water was investigated applying batch and flow-through approaches. Fast calcium removal was demonstrated.
