The main objective of the survey is to provide reliable data of environmental reality on the economic establishments in the Palestinian Territory, including the methods used to handle the solid waste and wastewater.  It includes also the role of the local authority in providing the suitable environment that will reduce the negative effect of the different types of pollution on the economic sector. \n\nThis report presents the main findings of the Environmental Economic Survey.  It is one of a series of expected reports to be published by PCBS on the environment and natural resources in Palestine according to the plan for the Environment Statistical Department, as a tool for describing the status of environment in the Palestinian Territory.\n\nThis report presents statistical data of water consumption in the economic establishments by water source, the methods of solid waste disposal and their main components, and the disposal of wastewater.","time_periods":[{"start":"2008","end":"2008","cycle":""}],"coll_dates":[{"start":"2008-04-20","end":"2008-08-03","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Palestine","abbreviation":"PSE"}],"geog_coverage":"West Bank and Gaza Strip","analysis_unit":"Palestinian economic establishments","universe":"All the Palestinian economic establishments, which included in the Economic Series Survey sample in the Palestinian Territory","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"Establishments: Economic Establishments"},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"palestinian central bureauof statistics","abbreviation":"pcbs","affiliation":"palestinian national authority"}],"sampling_procedure":"The sample is a single-stage stratified cluster random sample.
