Seeking Sustainability: Israel’s Evolving Water Management Strategy

By Dr. Alon Tal


ABSTRACT

 

The water-management policies adopted to address Israel's chronic scarcity have not been without environmental consequences. Yet, through a trial-and-error process, a combined strategy of water transport, rainwater harvesting, waste-water reuse, desalination and a variety of other water-conservation measures have put the country on a more sustainable path for the future.

Eco-Quote

"One may not dig a cistern close to the cistern of another, nor a trench, nor a vault, nor a water channel, nor a washer-man's pool, unless it is three tefahim distant from the wall of the other, and he must plaster it with lime. One must place olive peat, dung, salt, lime and rocks three tefahim away from the wall of one's neighbor, and he must plaster it with lime. Seeds, the plough and urine must be three tefahim away from the wall."

- Mishnah Bava Batra 2:1
