Week 2: Abou Eid Environment

The village of "حوش العرب" lacks an adequate waste disposal system. The village has no sewage system and each household has its own waste trench. The presence of primitive waste trenches without the appropriate sanitary measures has resulted in the contamination of ground water. Thus, wells are no longer used by households as a source of water. To make matters worse, the state does not provide water service to the village.
