Potable water supply in the village is controlled by the Israeli government. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends 100 liters of water per capita per day as a minimum. In Wadi Foquin, consumption is restricted to 30 to 70 liters per day compared with 240 to 300 liters per day in Betar Illit.
Natural springs in the village have also been damaged by dynamiting and limestone runoff from settlement construction. The limestone dries into a concrete-like substance that prevents rain water from filtering into the underground aquifer.
