. In the arid region of the Dead Sea, water shortage and the inability tosatisfy the increasing domestic water demand threatens sustainabledevelopment. In such situations, domestic rainwater harvesting is consideredan efficient way to combat water poverty. This paper aims to develop domesticwater poverty (DWP) and domestic rainwater harvesting suitability (DRWHS)maps for the West Bank, Palestine. The analytical hierarchy process (AHP) andthe GIS-based weighted overlay summation process (WOSP) were utilized in thedevelopment of these maps. Results of the DWP map indicate that 57 % ofthe West Bank is under high to very high poverty of domestic water. The DRWHSmap shows that 60 % of the West Bank is highly suitable for domesticrainwater harvesting. Spatial intersection (combined mapping) between DWP andDRWHS maps indicates that around 31 % of the total West Bank areas couldbe classified as high potential locations (hotspot areas) for adoptingrainwater harvesting techniques for domestic purposes. The developed maps arevaluable to the stakeholders to better identify the best areas of rainwaterharvesting in the West Bank.
