More than 50% of renewable natural sources of fresh water originate outside Israel\u2019s borders. The country is the largest user of the Jordan River system which includes Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and the West Bank. \nBut since the early 20th century, the quality of the basin has become more acute. Israel has therefore made it a national mission to strengthen existing water sources by setting up sweater desalination plants using reverse osmosis technology for drinking-water purposes and agricultural use. \nAdditional smaller Israeli water resources are mainly found in the Upper Galilee, the Arab village of Kafr Manda in the Western Galilee, the Dead Sea Rift, the Arava and the Negev.\nIsrael\u2019s key solutions to solve global water crisis\nIsrael\u2019s concern for climate change and environmental damage emerged at the beginning of the decade. In March 2011, the Ministry of Environmental Protection initiated the establishment of the The Israel Climate Change Information Center in collaboration with the Samuel Neaman Institute for Advanced Studies in Science and Technology (SNI), the Technion and Tel Aviv University. \nThe government is set to launch a series of ambitious reforms as part of an inter-ministry action plan. This involved four key objectives: setting up new desalination plants, reducing water use and increasing awareness of water scarcity, advancing scientific research and strengthening international legally binding climate agreements.\nDiscover out our latest videos about the economic news in Israel :\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n","author":42,"featured_media":5341,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","tags":[5754,5764,5761,5763,5766,5751,5756,5753,5767,2961,5750,5759,5762],"location":[1021],"class_list":["post-28250","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-business","tag-communities","tag-decision-makers","tag-direct-broadcasting","tag-economic-analysis","tag-economy","tag-employment","tag-entrepriseslife","tag-expert-opinion","tag-institutions","tag-news","tag-politics","tag-trending","location-israel"],"short_url":"","have_related_news":null,"chapo":"Like many of the Middle East countries, Israel has suffered over the few years ago from water shortage issues resulting from growing demand, climate changes and urbanisation.
