Water Resources

The average potential of renewable water comes to 1,800 million meters cubed every year. 95% of this is already used for domestic consumption and irrigation. Around 80% of the water potential is in the northern parts of the country, and the remaining 20% is in the south.

Israel’s main freshwater resources are: Lake Kinneret, the Sea of Galilee, the Coastal Aquifer, and the Mountain Aquifer. There are also other smaller freshwater resources in the country.

The two most reliable and least expensive ways to extend Israel’s water resources are water conservation and water use efficiency. There are some public water conservation groups that are trying to reduce the consumption of water and to increase the awareness of water scarcity.

Israel’s conservation efforts are aimed at improving water efficiency, managing the water, and to control the water. They are incouraged to reduce their use of water. The citizens of the country are asked to save water, using the slogan “Don’t waste a drop”. Parks are also helping out by planting drought-resistant plants and watering at night
