How can we improve water distribution in Israel?

Optimising water distribution from various sources has been a success. Israel is the largest user of recycled effluent water for agriculture across OECD countries; desalination secures the country’s supply of drinking water. Figure 2. Israel’s wastewater reuse and seawater desalination are reducing freshwater scarcity

Can technology tackle water scarcity in Israel?

While technology provided a strong impetus behind Israel’s solid performance in addressing water scarcity, on its own, technology cannot tackle all environmental issues. For instance, nature-based solutions can help prevent drought or other hazard events in the context of climate change.

Does Israel's wastewater reuse and seawater desalination reduce water scarcity?

Figure 2. Israel’s wastewater reuse and seawater desalination are reducing freshwater scarcity Note: Panel A – Water stress = total freshwater abstraction as percentage of total renewable water resources. A water stress higher than 40% indicates serious water scarcity and shows unsustainable water use.

Has Israel solved its water crisis?

Israel is known for having solved its water crisis through its world-leading smart water management and advanced water technology. At the world’s largest seawater desalination plant, I sipped freshly desalinated Mediterranean water, and the brilliance of Israel’s many-pronged approach was as clear as the H2O in my paper cup.

Why should you invest in an Environmental Fund in Israel?

The fund specializes in investing in key Israeli infrastructure and energy projects. We provide a wide range of environmental solutions, including desalination, water and wastewater treatment, soil remediation, solid waste management, recycling services and chemicals production and distribution.

Does Israel have a sufficient water supply?

Israel's water supply is boosted by its exceptionally low rate of leakage, which is the lowest in the world, averaging 7-8%. In most countries, an average of 30% of expensive treated water is lost through leakage before reaching customers.
