This is false.
Anything which was removed was at the demands of the Palestinian Authority.
Israel left the irrigation systems, and septic tanks. They offered to train someone to work it, and nobody took them up on it. The water systems are still there, and Hamas never requested the butane.
There's no shortage of construction in Palestinian territories.
It's true that water is a huge part of the conflict, and one which is often neglected, but the 9,000 Jews residing in Gaza which some of you call "settlements" were part of communities that had created very successful organic farms. The glass houses were left for Palestinians, and they were set to inherit the industry. Unfortunately, once Israel left, the glass houses were destroyed by Palestinian riots, along with the synagogues, and several Holy Sites.
