Water Distribution

Water is distributed in Israel by Mekorot Water Company Ltd. It is a government-owned company and it’s responsible for managing most of the water resources. Mekorot produces and supplies around two-thirds of the total amount of water in the country. The rest of the water is provided through privately-owned businesses and facilities.

The shortage of water in the south created the need for a water-delivery system that delivers from the north. Most of Israel’s fresh water resources are interconnected into the National Water Carrier, which supplies both surface and groundwater.
