The North Gaza Emergency Sewage Treatment (NGEST) project (World Bank P074595) built a new wastewater treatment plant for Jabalia, Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun, with an ultimate capacity of 35,600 m³/day: activated sludge with nitrogen removal, sludge thickening, two 4,800 m³ anaerobic digesters, centrifuge dewatering and biogas energy recovery covering about 60% of the plant's power demand, discharging to nine infiltration basins of up to 8 ha that recharge the aquifer.
